[reads Wikipedia] Gosh, what a lot of history I never knew existed! So many decks, and names for suits.

"supposedly mnemonic", yes. Their system is a bit of a stretch (unlike mine ;-))

"Various people have independently suggested expanding the Anglo-American deck to five, six or even more suits" I'm slightly disappointed to find I'm not the first. I suspect Wikipedia is not yet ready for the Truth about Voles.

Indeed, the marmotic system is much superior. I love the idea of voles. Well, we know enough people who play improvised card games.
