The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Grayson belongs to wood, since it is made at the back of the throat. In Saju, Grayson carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. Grayson supports fire from behind: its wood sound is the traditional source of that element. If wood is already strong in a chart, Grayson ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
