How Raul sounds
With just one syllable, Raul is quick to say and easy to remember. With a liquid consonant at the end, Raul has a mellow, lingering finish. There is a ripple in the way Raul sounds, with its soft, liquid consonants and open vowels.

The Saju view
Because Raul begins with T, D, N, L or R, the system counts its first sound as fire, and the first sound weighs double. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Raul is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Raul 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 Raul would add to it.
