Meanings of elements

PROCESSED SKIN, LEATHER TANNED HIDE, REFORM and RECEIVING WITH BOTH HANDS DISCIPLINARY ACTION, BEATING
…or: TANNED HIDE while GRABBING HANDFUL
…or: SKIN WRAPPING SEEDS

Scholars say this is apparently a type of Japanese toy BALL made from skin wrapped around a wad of uncooked rice grains, and this appears to be the only meaning in Japanese, but may have referred more to one's BALLS (「jism splats, semen」) in the plural「wrapped inside」the「skin」of one's scrotum.
　Per dictionaries, right elements mean「palm of the hand that is full of something.」In Chinese, the meaning is to REAR, RAISE, BRING UP as possibly a weak reference to raising an animal all the way to the skinned-hide stage, or SPANKING a bent over male child's buttocks as he grasps his scrotum in order to protect his testicles from being struck inadvertently by the paddle, which might cause unwanted permanent damage. Left element means a「tanned hide, skin」that may indicate DISCIPLINING a child using corporal punishment, with「tanning a hide」also being a situation in which one might find one「palm full of hide and anal orifice」(「tanning a hide」here perhaps refers to changing the color of buttocks skin to a bright red due to spanking it).

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.
