Glyphs live forever, it seems, uninhibited in expressing content, fearless of repercussions. Seal script is an older form of writing these glyphs. Some have wondered whether the elements of old seal glyphs would yield a different integrated meaning than those elements in use today, but this concern is unwarranted. As long as the scribes consistently applied the same element in all glyphs in which it was used when simplifying or make revisions, it really does not matter much what shape the element takes. For example, who would think that the lower element in this glyph is pig's nose, or the upper element set represents bamboo, only by looking at the parts?
　Elements suggest the government authority for requiring gonorrhea sufferers to visit the shrine, the local clinic, for treatment by clapping their bone between two flat pieces of wood, with the sticky string that flew out landing on some sort of cloth and forming what appeared quite similar to scripted writing of Chinese glyphs. If so, you can bet that the sages laughed themselves silly with this glyph, and the joke is on anyone today who believes these glyphs「are for pronunciation only with no inherent meanings attached fundamentally」to be memorized as a secret written code. Note that「a hollow quill」would have been easily shaped into a fine bougie, and that brushes were used to write Chinese calligraphy glyphs, and not quills.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: seal (of office); seal script (a calligraphic style); the small seal 小篆 and great seal 大篆; writing in seal script
Unihan extended: seal script; seal, official stamp
EDRDG: seal-style characters

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
