The Saju view
Say Nicolas slowly and the first thing the mouth does is touch the tongue to the ridge behind the teeth, a movement the system files under fire. Nicolas is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Nicolas, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Nicolas would tip the balance further.
