The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Gemma belongs to metal, since it is made against the teeth. If your Four Pillars show little metal, Gemma is worth a closer look: its metal sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, metal gives rise to water, so Gemma earns some credit for charts missing water. A chart that already holds plenty of metal is better served by another name, since Gemma would add to it.
