After the lord, king became infected himself, that is the「king with larvae, grubs in meat orifice」his long tool for meat penetration was fitted with a SCABBARD of healing herbs within a poultice SHEATH to apply a treatment as well as catch the telltale TRACES of infection dripping from his meatus, and to REIN in his behavior somewhat before the whole meat asset herd was infected and had to be destroyed or abandoned. REINS such as those used with a horse are「rulership with mouth meat」to control the animal, but the use of REINS is not limited to horses, of course. See related glyph 鞙 that describes a leather cockring as a device to increase quality, a scabbard for a meat orifice penetrating weapon.
What remains after a king, lord, or governmental authority asserts itself and commits a slaughter are the TRACES of the「king's maggots」feeding on corpses. How else the corpses acted as「sheaths, scabbards for the longswords」of the victors is left to your imagination, the「king's meat holes」and「orifices of sacrificed victims.」

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.
