The Saju view
Because Esmeralda begins with a vowel, H, W or Y, the system counts its first sound as earth, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Esmeralda carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. Esmeralda supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Esmeralda would tip the balance further.
