Constitutional Types ([[rus khams]])

*The five constitutional types ([[rus khams lnga]]) are known in Tibetan by their original transliterated Chinese terms conjoined with the appropriate element: wood ([[keg shing]]), fire ([[ji me]]), earth ([[kung sa]]), iron ([[gshang lcags]]) and water ([['u rus chen]]). One of their functions is vocalisation, in which context it is said that wood ([[keg shing]]) articulates velar or guttural sounds; fire ([[ji me]]) articulates dental sounds; earth ([[kungs sa]]) articulates nasal sounds, gathering air within the abdomen; iron ([[gshang lcags]]) articulates vocalic sounds; while water ([['u chur]]) articulates labial sounds. It is important for the diviner to ascertain which years among those of the twelve year cycle are significant in the case of a specific constitutional type since each constitutional type is considered to have its years of greater penalty ([[chad chen gyi lo]]), and lesser penalty ([[chad chung gi lo]]), as well as those forming identity or destiny relationships ([[dbang lo]]), mother relationships ([[ma lo]]), son relationships ([[bu lo]]), friend relationships ([[grogs lo]]) and enemy relationships ([[dgra lo]]). In addition each type is also recognised to have a specific planet of destiny ([[dbang gza']]) and a specific constellation of destiny ([[dbang skar]]), Tables indicating the correspondence of these years, planets and constellations to different constitutional types are included in Part II, pp. 000-000.
