Meanings of elements

emphasis on REMOVING EVIL, AVOIDING DISASTER
…or: emphasis on DISPLAY with DOG-LIKE
…or: CLOTHING and PROTECTION DOGGIE-STYLE

「Garment protecting」the lower leg, an area also accessible by most dog muzzles and teeth. KNEEPADS used while kneeling and「washing oneself thoroughly after becoming soiled to avoid disaster」or while「in the dog-style display」during rear-entry coitus as knee protection…likely an invention of the shaman used by service providers who were required to wash many times per day and night, and while kneeling or sitting with knees widely spread with clients. Scars and scrapes on the knees and shins were a client turn-off that discouraged both ardor and repeat business, but more importantly, prevented the service provider from providing all of her revenue-generating services.

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.
