The Saju view
Say Vera slowly and the first thing the mouth does is close the lips, a movement the system files under water. Vera is a water name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack water. A chart lacking wood can lean on the water in Vera, since water is the parent of wood in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of water is better served by another name, since Vera would add to it.
