Meanings of elements

WOODY STAKE, TAPERED WOOD, DRIVING INTO SOIL OR FLESH, SHOOTING DISCHARGE, DART ARROW DIRK, TO SHOOT ONE'S ARROW, WILD DOG UNDOMESTICATED MALE with TWO, CHANGE OF PHYSICAL STATE and with WEALTH, MONEY, VALUABLE OUTER SHELL, FLESHPOT, VALUABLE EXTERNAL APPEARANCE, GOAL OF EMISSIONS
…or: TWO WILD DOGS, SOIL STAKES with FLESHPOT, GOAL OF EMISSIONS
…or: WILD DOG with TWO FLESHPOTS

「Two dogs with a fleshpot, goal of emissions」or「two dogs for fleshpot.」Modern glyph is「two dogs」with the lowest horizontal stroke of「repeated」but perhaps was a marker stroke. Denoting the second position of a DEPUTY GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL. Clearly, a「dog spearing with two fleshpots」also denotes a「second position」when with a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.
Bitches (that is, canid females) in the heat of estrus will copulate successively with all the dogs (that is, canid males) lined up awaiting that opportunity, until she collapses in exhaustion, so「second position with multiple goals of emissions」and「scoring, rod with fleshpot」are highly apropos of one in deeply within hind position and another flanking the rear waiting for a vacancy.

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.
