The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Xander starts in metal: S, Z, SH, CH or J all belong there. In Saju, Xander carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Xander earns some credit for charts missing earth. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Xander would add to it.
