I'm trying to devise a few variations on a peg memory system. I'll spare you the details (unless asked) and cut to the chase. Think of it as a word puzzle.
I need a word that has only one consonant sound: "N". The word may contain other consonants, so long as they are unvoiced. It must also refer to a concrete object, or thing, or sound, or smell, but not a concept or action.
The suggested word is "Noah". That's okay, but I'm hoping for something better. I thought of "knee" and "neigh".
I also need a word that fits the above criteria but for "L". So far I have "lei", "loo", "law" (not really a concrete thing, but I can picture it as a judge or policeman); "M" (I have "may" as in hawthorne, "Ma", "me" and "moo"); "R" (I have "ray" as in stingray, "roo" as in kangaroo, and "rye").
For words containing two consonant sounds, I need "N R" (all I have is "Nero"); "N M" (all I have is "name"); "M V" or "M F" (I have "movie"); "J/SH/CH/soft G and F" (I have "chef"); and
finally "F B/P" (I have "fob" and "fop").
Of course I could use one of the words I have already come up with, and will if nothing else is suggested, but the other 91 word pegs are so much better (moon, maze, gem, rain, lion, lamb, leech, lily) that the above just seem a little out of place.
Rare and obscure words are fine, so long as they refer to concrete objects or things that can be pictured.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
