「Erect wood with pussy pawing」indicates having a NEW interest, or RENEWED vigor, with results almost instantly apparent.「Erect woody standing」with「hand pawing and cat-like scratching」also suggests a struggling young male NEWLY discovering a NOVEL way to pass the time heretofore UNUSED, creating an automatic RENEWAL of interest, something to be fond of, to hunt after another time, once again, especially, intentionally, deliberately. Anyone who has ever cared for a young human male from diaper age can attest to his unflagging interest in his own genitalia.
「Standing wood with hatchet」might suggest a method of growing some NEW trees, but this assumes a lot of death first, with wood chips and cut branches, and quite a few other unmentioned steps before new growth occurs, over a long period of time. And per some scholarly sources, left element was a sharp「needle」(辛) with「emit drops, split」as either drops of blood or engorged wood splitting, with the addition of「hatchet」to suggest a NEW tool, one that was sharp enough to perform the task at hand (admittedly, that explanation also requires somewhat of an inductive leap in logic, and recall that old tools can often be sharpened and renewed). Needless to point out perhaps is that the other given meanings cannot adequately be explained with this combination of element definitions.
Note it can also be argued that traditional fonts display the left elements as「control palming upward emissions」with「downward thrusting penis emissions」or「palming spurts screwing with emissions, woody」: 亠, 丷, 干, ハ or 亠, 䒑, 十, ハ…with the「pussy pawing」naturally.

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.
