…or: STRINGY THREAD FIBER of NEST

「Threads from tree nest.」「Loose with loose and dripping small stream」of the left elements refer formerly to the thick protein liquids drawn from the spinneret of a silk caterpillar that harden into cocoon thread upon contact with air, building a「nest」in which to metamorphose. The natural process when not harvested for silk is for a cocoon to be cut from the inside by the escaping moth into thousands of short, useless segments as a metamorphosed caterpillar begins to cut its way out, emerging as a moth. Each cocoon is formed from a single fiber of silk that averaged 800 to 1,200 meters in length (3/5 mile) and formed from about 300,000 figure-eight twists. However, if the caterpillar was not crushed (「mashed head」) or scalded to death soon enough, and it began to use its mouth to cut its own way out of the cocoon, one end of the bundled thread would be chewed through, causing that cocoon's single long thread to be separated into thousands of smaller, useless pieces (「small segments of roughly equal length」), with many ends, in total confusion as the cocoon softened and unraveled, separating into a confused mass of 300,000 or so short fibers when placed into hot water with other cocoons for softening and unraveling. TO DRAW means「cause to move in a given direction or to a given position, as by leading」
[ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/draw ]
Unwinding the cocoons by drawing on the individual threads and REELING, WINDING them for later processing. May refer to death and the need for a Buddhist priest to conduct one's funeral after dying from a severe illness,「black woody.」Treatment sessions of a penile gonorrhea infection.

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.
