Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SCAB, CRUST, DRY UP, SLOUGH OFF, PROCESS OF HEALING A WOUND with BODY MEAT OR FLESH
…or: ILLNESS, DISEASE, SICK, PHYSICAL AILMENT with ADDITIONAL INCREASE, AUGMENTED, JOIN IN with FLESH, MEAT PART OF THE BODY
「Scabby meat」: feeling as if carrying around meat, flesh, muscle that is not one's own. Before a wound is fully healed and in some cases permanently, severed nerves are not re-connected and result in NUMBNESS of the surrounding tissue. Sometimes as a wound heals, severed nerves do not become reconnected properly, causing the feeling of numbness in some locations, or, the sensation that one is being touched in a nearby place other than where contact is actually occurring,「an ailment added to the initial physical condition or wound.」Needless to mention perhaps is the fact that「scab meat」itself does not normally contain any nerve tissue for detecting sensations.「Sickness, physical condition of added meat」describes NUMBNESS as being forced to carry around added meat, muscle, or a body part that does not feel as if it belongs on one's body.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
