Memo edges in letters.
Start at UF go clockwise, then LF cw, DF cw and end at RD.
Let the positions be named B C D F G L M N P R S T in the order described above.
Memo 2 edges at a time by making words consisting of 2 of the above letters that are together in the cycle.

B (UF) or what ever piece that you start the cycle with shall be the buffer. Whatever piece that will end there after the cycle algorithm is free to be flipped or not, so long as the other 2 pieces in the cycle are completely solved.

While memorizing the position cycle 2 pieces at a time, you can also memorize their orientation. If both are correct, let the last vowel be A. If only first is correct, let the last vowel be E. If only the 2nd is correct, let the last vowel be I. If neither are correct, let the last vowel be U or O.

I think this is very effective for edges, but corners are a bit tricky because there are 3 orientations. I suppose I'll do visual.

If there are non moving pieces that are wrongly oriented, should I just orient them first as in simple 3 cycle?
 
Alright, it's not like I was trying to keep it secret, but I'm trying this for BLD edges now. I'm trying it with 3OP, freestyle, and M2.

Except I use B, C/K, D, F, G/J, L, M/N, P, R, S, T, SH/TH
(clockwise around layers, from UF, RF, & DF)

These go in pairs of syllables, with an arbitrary vowel for 3OP.
For stickers, I go by my 3OP def, and insert vowels like you. I haven't practiced this as much, and still can't decide whether to group A & E of O & U.


Anyhow, I like it. :)
 
I've been experimenting with something similar for a while now, too. I tried different vowels, negating sentences, and different ways of using connecting words.

This works for everything from knowing which way to rotate the cube to start new cycles to remembering obscure setup turns, to using completely new buffers.

The ending vowel thing is going to make memorizing fast kind of a pain, though. They're too similar. At least, from what I was playing with, they were.
 
This discussing is really getting off topic...
This is a pretty efficient memo system I guess. I've tried it a few times solving BLD TuRBo and I'm getting really bad DNFs. I think I'll quit this until I can sub-4 min and get high accuracy using simple 3-cycle.
 
I'm thinking about switching to M2 now. I'm wondering if this system can be applied to M2? The memo is compressive, but would the decoding be slow?
Should I use single words for each position instead?
That would mean I would have to make 72 PAO words.

The advantage for the verb vowel verb method for M2 I think is that you can memorize in pairs.
 
Hey! It's my question to begin with and it's not completely answered...
I think you are allowed to bump your own thread if you have more questions on the same topic.
