How Dennis sounds

Dennis has a light, airy sound with soft breathy consonants and bright vowels, which this scheme counts as air.

The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Dennis it is fire, made with the tip of the tongue. Saju listeners hear fire in Dennis, the element tied to summer and to warmth. Charts with little fire are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Dennis, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Dennis would add to it.
