「Hand end-to-end」describes the long reach of government, the powers that be, LAW ENFORCEMENT.
　GOVERNING CONTROL, MANAGEMENT TACTICS, GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS were ordered BY LAW and enforced during endemic outbreaks of sexually transmitted diseases in the attempt to stem the tide. Infected people were forced to mask their disease by wearing a codpiece and loincloth to prevent contagious dripping in public places, and undergo treatment by reaming with a bougie (or, 'boogie'), again and again until symptoms abated. Official records were maintained of the treatment results to enable tracing of an outbreak or resurgence, and shaman brute squads enforced the laws under government authority, going door to door when the need arose (see: 'magistrate, authority' 尹 and 津).
　「Quick movements, erection」in「firm hand scraping, or, inscribing law」depicts LAW ENFORCEMENT for an orderly society, describing the local powers and authorities to mandate the rule of law, and specifically with these elements, medical treatment of persons infected with sexually transmitted disease as the most threatening scourge in the old days, or any day, and prohibition of entry into the shaman's brothels, locking down business establishments that were the cause of disease clusters.
　An OFFICIAL PERSON ready to defend the fief or subdue rebellion by grabbing a rod and whacking…or just someone prone to grabbing his rod and whacking.
　Perhaps not strangely, this glyph is grouped in the Unicode tables with other glyphs containing the「buttocks, corpse, slouch」element (尸), and while such a grouping is not always definitive, the glyph may be depicting an OFFICIAL PERSON or a JUDGE, MAGISTRATE as a「hand grasping dead or dying, flagging or flaccid meat」or as a noble aristocrat with an「exceptionally wide, double-fat ass protruding on both sides.」
　Some say the elements depict a hand holding a calligraphy brush, and might be signifying that the lord could read and write, but most lords thousands of years ago when these glyphs were created either inherited their positions through nepotism or won them by slaughtering someone else, neither case indicative of much literacy. Actually, lords are human beings no different than the serfs whom they rule. Lords did not need to bother with learning too much, being in possession of a 'birthright.' Other scholars suggest a hand on something stiff and erect to depict a FEUDAL LORD, such as on his rod signifying authority. One thing is clear: the elements describe scraping the insides, or 'inscribing,' with both medical treatment procedures and by written edicts for subjects inside the fief to have those procedures performed, like it or not.
