The Saju view
Say Quentin slowly and the first thing the mouth does is lift the back of the tongue, a movement the system files under wood. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Quentin is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Quentin earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Quentin ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
