Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
EYE, GOAL with INVOLUNTARY SWELLING AND SHRINKING WHILE TESTING FOR INCLUSION
…or: EYE with JUVENILE
…or: GOAL of ERECT in SOIL WALLS
As any mother of a three-year-old boy can attest, elements of「eye part that involuntary will widen and narrow, swell and shrink almost constantly as does the penis of a young boy」describe the PUPIL of the eye that is dilated and contracted using the iris of the「eye's involuntary」muscle movements in order to control the amount of light reaching the retina and the exposure of the images seen (the measurement of ambient light is a type of「testing for inclusion」). A PUPIL is associated with virgins, young age, students learning new things, and changing size caused by swelling and enlarging. Similar to the English expression, the apple of one's eye:「orig. in reference to the pupil of one's eye (in OE simply æppel. Compare Old High German apful with similar sense). Later misunderstood」

Chinese: pupil of the eye
Japanese: pupil, eye
Unihan extended: pupil of eye
EDRDG: pupil

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
