The Saju view
The first sound of Gloria is made at the back of the throat, and the sound-element system used here counts that as wood. Gloria 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 Gloria, since wood is the parent of fire in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of wood is better served by another name, since Gloria would add to it.
