Meanings of elements

RUPTURED GOODS
…or: RUPTURED QUALITY
…or: ILLNESS, DISEASE, SICK and ON THE ROCKS, PRECIPICE
…or: ILLNESS, DISEASE, SICK with MANY ORIFICES, THE GOODS with GLANS

「Illness on the precipice of soaring off into the heavens, standing at the cliff's edge」as CANCER, and「illness of many orifices with a glans」will also become a CANCER.
A marmoset is a New World monkey of the Amazon rainforest, and was likely unknown to the ancient Chinese sages. Literally,「illness of many orifices with glans」to describe this monkey…note that a fraternal twin is one that develops from gametes different from its uterus mate(s), and is not an「identical twin」—for example, many sets of fraternal twins include individuals of each sex, meaning that the original egg and sperm were not from the same union…in other words, these glyph elements are「ruptured goods, many orifices」and this animal is known for fusing (rupture then rejoining) placentas while gestating:「It has recently been discovered that marmosets can carry the reproductive cells of their (fraternal) twin siblings, because of placental fusion during development. (Marmosets almost always give birth to fraternal twins.)」

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.
