The opening of Norah falls in the fire group of the sound-element table, because it is a tongue-tip sound. Names that sound like Norah are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. Norah supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. If fire is already strong in a chart, Norah ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
