By all means don't memorize the 20+ genitives. I suspect that using the
same approach the produced the 20+ genitives we would soon end up with
50 or a 100+ genitives which in my humble opinion is the best argument
against this scheme which I have in the past compared to butterfly
collecting where you pin each dead insect to a display board under its
proper category and subcategory.
