Major System pegs 200–299

A thin block to build, because English offers fewer n-initial nouns than t- or r-initial ones. 200 (noses) is the anchor. Expect to reach for proper nouns and compounds here more than anywhere else, and do not fight it: a peg you can see beats a peg that is a single tidy word.

The digit 2 encodes n, so every one of the hundred pegs below opens on that sound and then spells the remaining two digits with the same table the 00-99 chart uses. Read the encoding column as the consonant skeleton: the vowels between them are free, which is the whole reason a peg word can be found for every number.
