Meanings of elements

SOIL, GROUND and VAGINA, CLOACA, AREA DIFFICULT TO ACCESS, REMOTE, DOORWAY TO NEIGHBOR, BORDER

「Soil, feces」and「vagina」as the ENVIRONS that are「surrounding areas」or「areas that do the surrounding」of a male appendage…see the Used-In glyph 垌 meaning a「place for planting seeds」and farming is not done well in the wild, wild, wilderness…nevertheless,「feces beside vagina」does suggest a bit of wandering off the beaten path and engaging in WILD BEHAVIOR and actions, a wild place within valleys among hills.
Within a populated area many thousands of years ago, and today too,「grounds for vaginas」referred to the red-lined prostitution districts that sprang up around and surrounding the ENVIRONS of a lord's castle (later, becoming cities) conveniently located near the wealth and most-desired clients with money.
「Ground, soil」with「difficult to access, crossing the border of no return, no going back again during the current session」the「doorway to the neighboring spot」and so on refer more simply to a one-on-one situation involving both sides and entering the「soil section.」References to THE WILDERNESS literally as WILD AND CRAZY TIMES AND PLACES, the natural condition as described by the definition of the English word rather than to anywhere uninhabited, per se:
「1. An unsettled, uncultivated region left in its natural condition, especially: A) a large wild tract of land covered with dense vegetation or forests [many 木 woodies]; B) an extensive area, such as a desert or ocean, that is barren or empty; a waste [vast wasteland of fluid flows]; C) a piece of land set aside to grow wild [literally walled-off and segregated from the rest of the city, with its own rules and regulations]. 2. Something characterized by bewildering vastness, perilousness, or unchecked profusion: the wilderness of the city, the wilderness of counterespionage, a wilderness of voices」

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.
