The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Edwin starts in earth: a vowel, H, W or Y all belong there. The sound of Edwin belongs to earth, the element of grounding and reliability. A chart short on earth is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking metal can lean on the earth in Edwin, since earth is the parent of metal in Saju. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Edwin would tip the balance further.
