The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Cohen belongs to wood, since it is made at the back of the throat.

Cohen supports fire from behind: its wood sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with wood tend to look elsewhere, as the wood sound of Cohen would tip the balance further.
