Ah, yes, that's better. I forgot about "canpe". It could also be
swords, but we don't have a nice word for sword. I suppose it could be
"dakfu".

Yes, but in Alice the diamond cards were rich. Besides, the equivalent
to diamonds in Spanish style cards are the gold coins, and all the
others suits are named after objects not shapes, so all in all I
prefer "tabjme".
