Meanings of elements
PLUGGING ORIFICE on PEDESTAL
「Filled or plugging orifice on pedestal」meaning to CONFER or GRANT as an award, likely some sort of opportunity to fill an orifice, or as something more permanent (see related glyphs meaning「prize」, and「trophy」…and as「concubine, monarch's wife」). Scholars explain this as the 'decapitated head with brains' of some enemy 'set upon a table' and presented to one's liege lord, and that normally after such a victory the liege lord would award rice paddies…this circuitous mnemonic with leaps of inductive connections is a fine example of how comprehension problems arise after becoming stuck on only one limited meaning for an element or glyph, but attempting to apply that one meaning to every and all uses. seems to represent a so-called 'decapitated head full of brains' only in this single glyph, which should call that explanation into some question although no one disputes whether decapitated heads were indeed delivered to liege lords on occasion. However, placing a young and nubile concubine's anus on a pedestal as an award, trophy, prize or booty that is CONFERRED, GIVEN, does seem more reasonable, more useful, and more likely in the past, not to mention much easier to carry back to one's own home than a rice paddy or decapitated head.「Screwing in orifice of no-longer-integrated foot pedestal (literally meaning 'female foot stall')」are feet with a compartment used by a domesticated animal such as cattle…which in dynastic China during the age of dis-integrating feet was described by the elements「erection with array of reciprocating vertical motions」and so on.

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: to confer on; to give to
Unihan extended: to give
EDRDG: to give

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.
