The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Abel belongs to earth, since it is made with an open throat and a soft breath. In Saju, Abel carries earth. That makes it a natural choice for charts where earth is the thinnest of the five elements. Abel supports metal from behind: its earth sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Abel would add to it.
