Counted by its first sound, Luke is a fire name, since that sound is made with the tip of the tongue. Luke is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Luke, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. If fire is already strong in a chart, Luke ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
