Meanings of elements
YOUNG PREPUBESCENT FEMALE and ORIFICE
…or: RAISED ROD with ORIFICE
Formerly,「person」() with「divine orifices of prepubescent girls」or「raised rod with orifice.」…the first businesses operated from within the caves were those various services offered by the shaman as a religious figure, the first purveyors of sex providers, witch and doctor, the first purveyors of soothsaying, pharmaceuticals, and for getting close to god in temples and shrines. Shamans (a Tungusic word, originating in northeast China, that is, Manchuria) TOOK POSSESSION and OWNERSHIP of young girls, paying wholesale prices and then dis-integrating the feet of the girls to prevent them from running off. Next began an apprenticeship teaching the girls the sex trade, staffing brothels, and selling the girls at retail prices for gain. As a「divine mouth」the shamans as a SOOTHSAYER were well-respected professionals and MEANINGFUL to many people, the first purveyors of religion, i.e., god hucksters. It was believed that DIVINE, godly spirits OCCUPIED the mind of a shaman together with her own (well, at least they occupied her cave, if not her mind), today that term is「possessed」or some spirit has TAKEN POSSESSION of the shaman's mind. Shamans originated ACCOUNTING FOR transactions via journals, ledgers, subsidiary ledgers, time and billing, wholesaling, retailing, and so on…if you have the beans (), you need a bean counter.

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.
