That's probably a good idea. I usually shy away from mnemonics, as I find
they stick in my mind and actively intrude even after their usefulness is
gone, but I've had to use rote phrases for some of the little-used prefixes.
I try to use very short phrases from published sources, such as {pIpIH}
"We've been expecting you" from PK, or {chay' jura'} from ST3. I also
remember fun ones like {nIteb nIteb} "they fill you up all by themselves",
which came up in the context of dumplings.
