The Saju view
The first sound of Edgar is made with an open throat and a soft breath, and the sound-element system used here counts that as earth. Edgar is an earth name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack earth. A chart lacking metal can lean on the earth in Edgar, since earth is the parent of metal in Saju. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Edgar would tip the balance further.
