The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Daniel it is fire, made with the tip of the tongue. The sound of Daniel belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Daniel, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Daniel would tip the balance further.
