Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
BENT, LOOSE DRIPPING STENCH with ORIFICE
「Bent and dripping short leg with stench cloud」above「orifice.」It is noteworthy that the original form also included the element meaning「short hairs, fur pelt, pubic hair」(). Scholars say UPON A PLATFORM, waiting and watching for a mudflow, landslide, tsunami, typhoon, tidal surge, huge discharge, or flood waters, explaining that this glyph depicted a base built to be higher () than the previously known high-water flood level, with revised elements of「getting lucky, bound on all sides to the extreme」() but simplified to depict「stinky short leg and orifice」due to boredom, killing time, nothing else to do, getting horny, or becoming really good buddies up there alone all that time.
 A raised STAGE or PLATFORM as a heavy BASE would hopefully not be swept away by floodwaters or severe winds. A few soldier guys on a secure platform from which to watch for an approaching river flood during and soon after heavy regional rains or a typhoon…perhaps it was, but the original glyph elements depict a raised stage or platform upon which a large audience on all sides could witness those few guys engaging in various forms of engagement, with everyone watching and waiting for the huge discharges…remember at that time and place, homosexuality was common, homosexual love was highly regarded, and everybody cheered when one soldier's discharge catapulted his buddy across the STAGE, PLATFORM. Used as a raised BASE for mounting various war MACHINES with「loose arms that appear as if dripping a long thread, and then flinging chunks」such as CATAPULTS. Note this is likely the source of the English word 'dais,' and the described actions uncannily resemble the ritualistic motions of sumō wrestling performed on a raised staging area.

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: desk; platform; typhoon; stage; terrace; stand; support; station; classifier for vehicles or machines; Taiwan (abbr.); (classical) you (in letters)
Japanese: tower, stand, pedestal, calyx, Taiwan, rack, table, support, belt, counter for machines, incl. vehicles, setting, level, range, period
Unihan extended: platform; unit; term of address
EDRDG: pedestal; a stand; counter for machines and vehicles

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.
