The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Max it is water, made with the lips. Saju listeners hear water in Max, the element tied to winter and to wisdom. Charts with little water are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking wood can lean on the water in Max, since water is the parent of wood in Saju. If water is already strong in a chart, Max ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
