Meanings of elements

TREE with CAPITAL
…or: WOODY with PALMING HEAD and ORIFICE with STREAM of EMISSIONS DOWN

「Tree capital」is its FRUIT, containing 'seed capital' for starting new growth, an English term still in use today, but also refers to a first-rate or an excellent idea. FRUIT is defined as the sweet and fleshy meat of a tree that bears seeds, the offspring of animals, the results or consequences of an action or effort:「woody and palming head with stream of emissions down from orifice」that enables a male to PROPAGATE WELL by clearing his system of older, less motile and less spunky seeds.
Variety of ELM that PROPAGATES WELL just about everywhere, places that naturally may not have been conducive to growth, so that elms were planted where other species of trees had failed to take root. The ELM tree was recommended for planting beside boulevards in large cities (capitals?) due to its resistance to polluted air, polluted soil, and the harsh conditions generally extant in large cities and capitals caused by the overconcentration of human beings in confined spaces living in heaped up man-made piles of dirt: nevertheless, in most U.S. municipalities today, it is illegal to plant an elm tree on city property due to the mess it creates. One particularly bothersome characteristic of ELM trees is the vast number of seeds each tree produces, often forming huge swirling drifts or large pools of seeds, PROPAGATING WELL.
The grey STARLING, a highly gregarious bird that perches in「trees of the capital cities」forming huge murmurs (a starling flock of closely-crowded birds) also PROPAGATES WELL, and most often include various species and plenty of excrement, as do human beings who dwell in a large metropolis or capital city. Birds and other animals spread the seeds they have eaten by excreting in places other than where the fruit and seeds were swallowed.

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.
