The Saju view
The first sound of Maeve is made with the lips, and the sound-element system used here counts that as water. The sound of Maeve belongs to water, the element of reflection and flexibility. A chart short on water is the one that gains most from such a name. Because water feeds wood in the cycle of generation, Maeve can also help a chart that is short on wood, though less directly. Charts crowded with water tend to look elsewhere, as the water sound of Maeve would tip the balance further.
