The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Abigail it is earth, made with an open throat and a soft breath. The sound of Abigail belongs to earth, the element of grounding and reliability. A chart short on earth is the one that gains most from such a name. Because earth feeds metal in the cycle of generation, Abigail can also help a chart that is short on metal, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Abigail would add to it.
