The Saju view
Say Kayla slowly and the first thing the mouth does is lift the back of the tongue, a movement the system files under wood. The sound of Kayla belongs to wood, the element of beginnings and upward growth. A chart short on wood is the one that gains most from such a name. Because wood feeds fire in the cycle of generation, Kayla can also help a chart that is short on fire, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of wood is better served by another name, since Kayla would add to it.
