Suggestive of a decapitated head:「loose, dripping with stench」refers to SCREAMING AND HOLLERING, WHAT!? being YOUNG, TINY, TENDER and sore, the need for fiber bandages. Newly bludgeoned no-longer-integrated feet of a small girl child, rancid diseased tissue, and a single silk fiber are all DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT or SEE, the former due to being bound all the time by the wrappings that stick to and cut into the flesh, the latter due to being bound by thousands of other sticky wrapped fiber segments. MYSTERIOUS since it cannot be clearly seen or understood, OBSCURED. A PROFESSIONAL level of skill is also required to clean properly harvested silk fibers, a gangrenous bound and no-longer-integrated foot, and syphilitic necrosis of other bodily appendages. THE ONE is recognition of what is generally the one most important thing to a man, his「head sliding loose and dripping」and while a man may not fully agree with that assessment, try imagining living life without THAT ONE after amputation or some other「head loose and dripping」problem SCREAMING AND HOLLERING, WHAT!?
　「Loose, dripping with stench」may refer to ONE UNWOUND FIBER from a newly-formed silk cocoon while the fiber is still coated with the sticky and stinky protein sericin prior to processing in order to produce thread. Cocoon fibers consist mainly of two proteins: fibroin which is the odorless strong core used to make silk, and sericin which is the sticky, stinky glue-like substance that holds a cocoon together and is supposed to be washed away prior to spinning the fiber into thread. Glyph also appears as one side of a figure-eight, the shape used by caterpillars to form cocoons from a SINGLE FIBER of silk that is very fine but long, perhaps 1,000 meters in length and twisted into 300,000 figure-eight shapes by the caterpillar (related glyph depicts spiral, spinning, twisting, a figure-eight shape).
　「Loose, dripping with stench」may also refer to the figure-eight-shaped wrapping used around the genitals to hold poultices and discharged material after catching a disease. A figure-eight-shaped wrapping was used around both feet to hold in the bones, toes and loose meat after dis-integrating.
　Some scholars say「loose」and「short leg」refers to the drop spindle arm of a spinning wheel into which silk fibers are gathered and wound into thicker threads.
