Zackary strikes the ear quickly, with the bright, snappy edge that this scheme counts as fire.

The Saju view
Zackary opens with a hissing, teeth-edge sound, such as S, Z, SH, CH or J, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under metal. In Saju, Zackary carries metal. That makes it a natural choice for charts where metal is the thinnest of the five elements. Zackary supports water from behind: its metal sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of metal is better served by another name, since Zackary would add to it.
