Meanings of elements

WOODY PEG ARRAY IN HAND of FEMALE
…or: NOT YET and INCITE ACTION PROSTRATE AND STROKING with HAND and FEMALE

「Woody stub, peg array in hand of female」describes a WIDOW with no sexual partners, or, a female who has found that loving herself satisfies sufficiently. Perhaps a harem concubine (a herd meat asset) after her owner dies.
A「woman not yet forced out from living beneath the tribal cliff or tossed off of one」was a widow still living with the tribe. Senicide or geronticide was common among ancient human society, so an elderly widow may not have been permitted to remain in many cases unless able to contribute to the alpha male in some manner:
「The societies of antiquity viewed suicide and euthanasia much differently than does modern culture. Although factors such as better medical and psychological insight have affected contemporary society's view of suicide and euthanasia, much of the shift in opinion of these forms of death occurred because of the change in religion—that is,…society was dominated by pagan religions that did not categorically condemn suicide and euthanasia. …Ubasute (姥捨, abandoning an old woman), a custom allegedly performed in Japan in the distant past, whereby an infirm or elderly relative was carried to a mountain, or some other remote, desolate place, and left there to die.」
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senicide 2013-08-09 ]
「Ubasute has left its mark on Japanese folklore, where it forms the basis of many legends, poems, and koans」
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubasute 2013-08-09 ]…nevertheless, ubasute meant that the female was not alive any longer, hence not a widow, leaving the first explanation from China as the most likely: a woman in need of some fine dildo action from time to time,「not yet」ready to give that up.

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.
