The Saju view
Aliyah begins with a soft, open sound, so its leading sound counts as earth. In Saju, Aliyah carries earth. That makes it a natural choice for charts where earth is the thinnest of the five elements. Aliyah 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 Aliyah would add to it.
