What would be the correct meaning of the 'V' character -- latin alphabetic [vi:] or Roman numerals [faiv]
It all remains unsolved mystery to me so far.

Thanks.

The official site clarifies how the V is pronounced in Katakana, マーク V(ファイブ). It's the Roman numeral V.

Put ファイブ into google. It it says five for those who who don't appreciate misdirection as humor.

Actually back in the days (long time ago), I remember it was called "Mark Five". But in the past few years, I have heard younger players call it "Mark Vee" . It is currently not a popular rubber anymore, even for beginners.
