The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Karina starts in wood: K or hard G all belong there. Karina 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 Karina, since wood is the parent of fire in Saju. Charts crowded with wood tend to look elsewhere, as the wood sound of Karina would tip the balance further.
