The Saju view
Gwendolyn opens with a back-of-the-throat sound, such as K or hard G, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under wood. The sound of Gwendolyn belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Gwendolyn can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Gwendolyn would tip the balance further.
