Meanings of elements

CAVERN, WIDESPREAD BEHAVIOR OF HUMANS, CAVE OF WONDER, PALMING ERECTIONS with TWENTY, MULTIPLE SCREWINGS, TWO PENETRATING SHAFTS, ARRAY OF RODS and INDICATES EXTENT or TWENTY OR SO, MANY AND VARIOUS TIMES, ILLEGITIMATE BASTARD CHILD with MANY EMISSIONS

Sources say that these elements are「cavernous, cave o' wonders」with 炗 as「twenty flaming erections in pursuit of a service provider.」In English also, an 'old flame' is likely someone one who has been schtupped (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice). The flames in this glyph though are「many emissions」(灬) as births and/or plenty of dripping bodily fluids. With「cavernous area, large building, cave o' wonders」added it then referred to women, for the sexual gratification of clientele, writhing in orgies as do swarming grain silo maggots and who would entertain many different men per night (20 or so?) in「various flashes.」「Cavernous」may also suggest the size of a seriously stretched birth canal orifice after many bastards have crawled out, as in 同. BASTARDS as either the clientele or as CHILD OF A WHORE, those born as a result of these nightly flashes, of course for whom no one could possibly identify a father: the bastard son-of-a-whore. DNA sampling indicates that bastards are also actually quite common in「modern」societies, upward to 30% as false paternity, so let's not be too hypocritical.

　Noting that the referenced studies only included legally married parents, and excluded unmarried mothers, all of whom technically gave birth to bastards:
　「In the United States, for example, significant differences in out-of-wedlock births exist among major social groups. While the national average for the United States in 2014 is 40 percent, the proportions of births out of wedlock for whites are 29 percent. Hispanics, 53 percent. And blacks, 71 percent.」
　　[　https://archive-yaleglobal.yale.edu/content/out-wedlock-births-rise-worldwide 2023-05-18　]　
　2 of every 5 births in the U.S. of A. during 2014 were bastards.

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: numerous; common people (or populace); born of a concubine
Unihan extended: numerous, various; multitude
EDRDG: commoner; all; bastard

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.
