Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ROD STREAMING with ORIFICE
…or: MALE with an ORIFICE
…or: a MALE ORIFICE
…or: STREAMING from ROD ORIFICE
Elements are drawn today using the same strokes as an「array of orifice streaming」(see ) or「male」with「an orifice.」…or, as a「male's orifice」of course, to mean POSSIBLE, or a CAN DO, SHOULD DO, a GOOD OPPORTUNITY (see ). Outer top-right elements in old glyphs and seals resembled slightly different elements, those of「no-longer-integrated foot orifice, condition of extreme long stress, gasping with tension and possibly some pain」(), and with the inner element of「orifice」positioned inside the glyph represents that there is some kind of an OPPORTUNITY, a POSSIBILITY particularly for a Chinese male some time ago, one that covers most of the possibilities. Elements in any conceivable combination「rod」「streaming」and「orifice」likely need no explanation: SPECULATIVE INVITATION (recall that these glyphs were created in China prior to any sort of MeToo movements, and when LGBTUQIA/MoFo activity was as acceptable as it is today in most places around the world, outside zones of Sharia law, naturally).

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: see 可汗; can; may; able to; to approve; to permit; to suit; (particle used for emphasis) certainly; very
Japanese: passable, acceptable, tolerable, fair, word used at sentence-end to indicate speculation, volition or invitation, should, must, that one ought to, to be done, -able, shall, as it is bound to, following the natural course, though possible as it may be, to approve, to be in favor of
Unihan extended: may, can, -able; possibly
EDRDG: can; passable

Used within names (nanori)
よし

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.
