Meanings of elements

PERSON and with INTERTWINED CONNECTIONS, FAMILY LINEAGE SYSTEM
…or: PERSON with REPEATED THREADS of HUMAN CONNECTIONS
…or: ROD HEAD with REPEATED BOBBING and STICKY EJACULATION THREADS

Silk cocoons are each spun from one single, long fiber. Multiple fibers are twisted together with the drop spindle of a spinning wheel to form a single thread, so that「person and repeating fibers」might describes the DUTY that the PERSON IN CHARGE of a drop spindle spinning wheel in operation has to constantly watch the fibers feeding into the spindle, and to CONNECT an additional,「repeating fiber」from a new cocoon each time a fiber ends, thus assuring that the continuous thread maintains the same relative strength and thickness throughout.
　In Chinese, additional meanings are to BIND TOGETHER by sticking, make contact and then TIE UP WITH OTHERS, since the new fiber is simply pulled through a guide and then gently twisted around the other fibers forming the thread as soon as possible without stopping the wheel, and then naturally continues twisting with the other fibers, which accounts for the meanings of DUTY by constant watching of the PERSON IN CHARGE for fibers that have ended.
　「Person」with「sliding head」or「repeated bobbing」and「sticky thread-like ejaculations」also suggests INVOLVEMENT, CONNECTIONS, and DUTY, a PERSON IN CHARGE of accomplishing a task.
　Needless to point out perhaps is that a「person repeatedly bobbing head on penile emissions」also will be the one INVOLVED, CONNECTED, and ON DUTY, the PERSON IN CHARGE of accomplishing a task.

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.
