Pseudonumerology®
A word game or word puzzle.
In Pseudonumerology, numbers are converted to words for the pleasure
of playing with word combinations. Then the words may be converted
back, as a device to remember the numbers. Pseudonumerology is not
related to the occult practice of numerology.
The word Pseudonumerology is pseudospelled 0123456.

The ten pseudonumerals are S (0),
T (1),
N
(2),
M (3),
R (4),
L
(5), J (6),
K (7),
F
(8),
P (9). These symbols S, T, N ... are not
pronounced as the letters "ess", "tee", "en"... but as "iss", "it", "in", "im", "ir",
"il", "ij", "ik", "if", "ip". They are handy to convert numbers to words.
Simply write each digit as its pseudonumeral, and see what words you can make for the sounds
that the pseudonumerals remind you of.
