The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Gabriel starts in wood: K or hard G all belong there. Gabriel is a wood name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack wood. A chart lacking fire can lean on the wood in Gabriel, since wood is the parent of fire in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of wood is better served by another name, since Gabriel would add to it.
