The Saju view
The opening of Walter is a soft, open sound, the signature of earth in the pronunciation-element system. Walter is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Walter, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Walter would tip the balance further.
