The Saju view
Say Brenda slowly and the first thing the mouth does is close the lips, a movement the system files under water. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Brenda is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Brenda supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Brenda would add to it.
