Meanings of elements

PRONE PERSON with ROD FORWARD THRUSTING, TAKING FLIGHT

Elements are「prone, prostrate」with「one, horizontal rod segment」「taking flight, bent over, forward thrusting」to depict the「one part of a prone [dead or unconscious?] person that takes flight」or, a person's SPIRIT as it were, that of a laid-out dead person as it rises up to the heavens after death (some folks suppose), or to meet the Zetas, or to join the 144,000, or to be raptured, or to await a resurrection, or to be reborn, or to join the houries, or to burn eternally without burning up, or to be a guest at the home of the so-called America's Dad of the late 20th century (prior to any tom hankering) and so on and so forth.
　Clearly, despite all the confusion, someone「prone and thrusting forward rod」is seeking some sort of divinity, a divine experience by simply putting it to one of the shaman's divine service providers, again.

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.
