The Saju view
Say Porter slowly and the first thing the mouth does is close the lips, a movement the system files under water. In Saju, Porter carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. Porter supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Porter would add to it.
