The Saju view
Because Marcus begins with M, B, P, F or V, the system counts its first sound as water, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Marcus carries water. That makes it a natural choice for charts where water is the thinnest of the five elements. Marcus supports wood from behind: its water sound is the traditional source of that element. If water is already strong in a chart, Marcus ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
