The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Miles it is water, made with the lips. Miles is a water name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack water. A chart lacking wood can lean on the water in Miles, since water is the parent of wood in Saju. Charts crowded with water tend to look elsewhere, as the water sound of Miles would tip the balance further.
