Meanings of elements

TERRACED SOIL SLOPE, BACKSIDE with HOLDING STILL, WORRIED WITH GRIEF
…or: NAKED HUMAN BUTTOCKS with MEAT HANDLING or REPEATED STUFF FLYING from FLESH SEAM with SPEWING PENIS and FIRMLY GRASPING REAMING WITH A BOUGIE SCRAPING, THE RULE OF LAW

「Not moving with hill」might CONCEAL, HIDE, KEEP SECRET, or COVER you from an enemy, a「slope」where you can「hold still」with no movement to HIDE and be CONCEALED.
Right element of「meat of flesh seam in firm grasp」with「feelings, -minded, spewing penis」indicates「not moving, holding still」to avoid any mishap due to flinching during a painful medical procedure, or perhaps COVERING one's genitalia or anus with a hand or two likely as a defensive or protective countermeasure due to fear of what is to come from the doctor and her reaming bougie (⺕).「Naked human buttocks」with「meat of flesh seam in hand」with a「spewing penis」also more clearly depicts an attempt to HIDE, CONCEAL, COVER and keep SECRET one's groin generally for any number of reasons, as in covering your ass, or KEEPING YOUR ASS PERFECTLY STILL. Replacement glyph (㐆) meaning「to trust to do, to put confidence in, to depend upon, to turn around one's body」describes a need for keeping your ass perfectly still during various medical procedures to treat infections of the anus and/or penis, while KEEPING SECRET the condition and MAINTAINING CONFIDENTIALITY, turning away infected regions from the line of sight of another person.

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.
