Meanings of elements

PLACE WHERE EYES FOCUS with ACQUISITION, SEEK AND OBTAIN
…or: EYE and LOOSE, DRIPPING with IMPORTANT MATTER

「Eye loose and important」is the PUPIL that changes shape rapidly to regulate light entering the eye PUPIL OF AN EYEBALL. The lowing, nasal sound made by cattle starts out in low tones, rises, and then ends with low tones again, depicting a somewhat slow adjustment, opening and closing, like the changing inner periphery of an iris and pupil of an eye adjusting to luminance. And as well, elements as「eye like the short leg of a bull」was the more likely intent, since the PUPIL of the iris widens and narrows, swells and shrinks almost constantly while adjusting to luminance, and the penis of a horny bull in a pasture eyeing cows will widen and narrow, swell and shrink almost constantly while adjusting to wafting whiffs of female cattle pheromones. PUPIL is associated with elements of important, young girls, young boys, immaturity and young age.

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.
