The reason for L is probably because of the rhythm of the usual way the song goes. l, m, n... are rushed together because "elemenopee" is easy and fun to say q

I don't even need the song for the first couple lines these days!
- eastbound 2y agoProbably also for memorization. If the song were linear, letters would all cuddle together in the little children’s mind. It’s quite funny that, as a French native, we are all taught exactly the same song! Same pace, same tone, same elemenopy, but later in life, somehow y’all just smash tough/thorough/through/trough letters together, and we go on with our hon/hen/heim.

- eks391 2y agoI've been able to start at A, E, L, or T, and your explanation makes sense. I usually know a letter is near one of those four, but not if it is before or after, so if I am looking for P for example, I'll start with T for a bit, realize I've gone too far, and start over at L in hopes of finding it.
