A system type with double transfers seems to work well for Pazur and pd: Check out Dwuwurka on Dan Neill's site.

Basically:

1♣ = 11+, 4+♥
1♦ = 11+, 4+♠
1♥ = 11+, 4+♣
1♠ = 11+, 4+♦

all forcing and unlimited.

I've seen something similar, but all with 5 card suits...

If you want 5 card suits, it seems reasonable to also have a NT transfer so you can have 2 balanced ranges. How about this:

1♣ - 5+♥
1♦ - 5+♠
1♥ - weak NT range or 5+ ♣ strong (16+)
1♠ - 5+♦
1NT - strong NT range
2♣ - 5+ ♣ limited (10-14)

Over the 1♥ opener with clubs or balanced, you can do something relatively simple like:

1♠ - asks about which hand type
........1N showing weak NT
...............P weak and balanced
...............2X weak natural signoff 5+ suit
...............2N invitational balanced
........2♣ showing strong clubs, but still limited (15-18) (precision style continuations)
........2X very strong with clubs and suit bid, 19-22 or so (2NT=just clubs)
........3X GF with clubs and suit bid
1N - GF artificial
2X - 5+ natural and invitational
2N - invitational balanced

I suppose you could play around with swapping the weak and strong NT ranges in this framework, and likewise the limited and stronger club hands. Seems simple and playable.

It was something like you suggest, only 1♠ showed 5+♣ and 1NT showed 5+♦ (balanced hands in 1♥). Dunno the details and higher openings :)
