How Adam sounds

In U.S. birth records Adam has been given mostly to boys.
The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Adam starts in earth: a vowel, H, W or Y all belong there. The sound of Adam belongs to earth, the element of grounding and reliability. A chart short on earth is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking metal can lean on the earth in Adam, since earth is the parent of metal in Saju. If earth is already strong in a chart, Adam ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
