The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Callum is a wood name, since that sound is made at the back of the throat. Saju listeners hear wood in Callum, the element tied to spring and to growth. Charts with little wood are the ones it answers best. Because wood feeds fire in the cycle of generation, Callum can also help a chart that is short on fire, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of wood is better served by another name, since Callum would add to it.
