  i don't think so. fire in water remains fire in water, no matter whether you 
call this the king of cups or the knight of cups. the same goes, of course, for 
air in water, a card crowley, among others, calls not the knight but the prince 
of cups. in case of the court-cards the differences between waite and crowley, 
both rooted in the golden dawn, shouldn't be overrated.
