「Widespread burning」and「say, speak」with「mound, stream of emissions」that may mean SPREADING THE WORD among religious temple and shrine workers about the SIGNALS of infection that will cause one's MEAT TO BE SACRIFICED, an infection involving an acute burning sensation, WET OOZE, GREEN WOOD (see 緑 that explains a green woody as sacrificed meat).
「Widespread burning」and「say, speak」with「mound, stream of emissions」as a SIGNAL FIRE that is burning WET, GREEN WOOD and「talking with smoke and fire」wood not normally good for burning as regular fuel since it burns slowly and with MUCH SMOKE, but during the day when flames may not be visible, much smoke and burning slowly could be seen from afar, with flames visible at night. Widespread smoke may have indicated a chain of signal fires across a wide area, with one signalling the next in a sequence. Formerly, glyph was「array of flaming seen」(眘) or「goal of serious burning, focus on big emissions.」
Also means ALTAR FUEL with the associated logic leading to that conclusion perhaps being the idea that some religions have plenty of smokescreens and things to conceal, or that we need to be forewarned about it with signal fires…the sages were not fond of religions, generally.
Nevertheless, wet green wood that produces much smoke will not burn too many sacrifices, actually. FUEL FOR SACRIFICES (that is, what was burned, destroyed as a sacrifice) may not be referring to wood per se, but instead to what sort of meat was sacrificed for woodies by reading these elements as「big emissions, array of burning erections with tonguing mouths of small youths.」…very young female human beings were sold and purchased, recruited, and trained as fellatrices with no-longer-integrated feet by shamans and tossed, abandoned, discarded after becoming infected and unable to safely service the well-paying clients. Shamans also were the religious leaders of the day, instructing what and how sacrifices were to be performed and offering up her divine youths in shrines and temples of sex, all for a reasonable fee of course, in the businesses of selling salvation (herbal salves for infected meat) and temporary jaunts into heaven.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that),
representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created.
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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today.
Sex had no shame in ancient China.
Why would it?
But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?
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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better?
Or could they 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 lexicon.
This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
