The Saju view
The first sound of Ismael is made with an open throat and a soft breath, and the sound-element system used here counts that as earth. Saju listeners hear earth in Ismael, the element tied to the turn between seasons and to steadiness. Charts with little earth are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking metal can lean on the earth in Ismael, since earth is the parent of metal in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Ismael would add to it.
