The Saju view
Say Jocelyn slowly and the first thing the mouth does is press air past the teeth, a movement the system files under metal. The sound of Jocelyn belongs to metal, the element of focus and refinement. A chart short on metal is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking water can lean on the metal in Jocelyn, since metal is the parent of water in Saju. Charts crowded with metal tend to look elsewhere, as the metal sound of Jocelyn would tip the balance further.
