Meanings of elements
COOPERATING BUDDY SYSTEM WORKING JOINTLY, BOTH, PILED ONE ON TOP OF ANOTHER, LAYERED with SURROUNDING and with MOUTHFUL, TONGUING IN A MOUTH, SPEAK, SAY, HAVE REASON TO DO SOMETHING, PRETENDING, A PRETEXT, EXCUSE GIVEN TO HIDE THE TRUE REASON FOR SOMETHING
…or: AN ARRAY OF ITEMS, LATERAL ROD MOTION, INDICATES EXTENT with WRONG, CROOKED, NOT STRAIGHT, WARPED, MORAL ABERRATION, MORALLY ABHORRENT, BECOME HABITUATED, CURVED, BENT, SINGING A SONG, CROOK, NOOK, DISASTER, SOLD INTO PROSTITUTION, PLEASURE with TONGUING MOUTH, SPEAK, PRETENDING, EXCUSE GIVEN TO HIDE THE TRUE REASON FOR SOMETHING
…or: WIDE ARRAY of MORALLY ABHORRENT TONGUING, SPEECH
…or: BURSTING MOUTHFUL, TONGUING MOUTH, SPEAK, SAY, HAVE REASON TO DO SOMETHING, PRETENDING, A PRETEXT, EXCUSE GIVEN TO HIDE THE TRUE REASON FOR SOMETHING
「Array of singing tonguing mouths, morally abhorrent」depicts the LOW RANK or LOW CLASSIFICATION within a lord's harem or shaman's temple, the person's CLASS or GRADE…and so do the elements as「array of bursting mouthfuls of bubbly white, soda-like foam.」Elements suggest a fellatrix performing a series of service requests, one after another without much respite between clients in a line, a「tonguing mouth with an array of moral abhorrence」that causes bursts of whitish material to be spewed from the oral orifice, eventually.
　Lawyers also are often equated with「hard blowing」by the sages in glyphs.「Wide array of warped, moral aberration, morally abhorrent speech, tonguing mouth」as an ATTORNEY or an OFFICER OF THE COURT or LOW RANK, LOW CLASS. Lower element is not「sun」but rather a「tongue within a mouth, speaking.」Together depicting GOOD TALKERS bursting with speech: the LAWYERS. SODA is also depicted by bursts and foaming from a mouth, similar to a RABID ANIMAL. Generating foam, fluff, lots of speech.

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: class or grade; generation; plaintiff and defendant (old); government department (old); Zhou Dynasty vassal state
Unihan extended: ministry officials
EDRDG: office; official; comrade; fellow

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.
