The Saju view
Lyla opens with a tongue-tip sound, such as T, D, N, L or R, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under fire. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Lyla is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Lyla supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. If fire is already strong in a chart, Lyla ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
