Perhaps refers to washing after sexual contact in order to mitigate the spread of disease and infection as an inviolate law, SHOULD AND MUST do, COMPLY WITH THE RULES…the lowermost glyph element is often carved into what are today used as ritual hand-washing facilities at shrines and temples in Japan.
Also seems to refer to actions IN PROPORTION TO, and CORRESPONDING TO「venom-spewing appendage」or「feelings, heart, mind」inside the tribal「cavern」: SHOULD or MUST REACT with a RESPONSE, I AGREE SOMETHING MUST BE DONE immediately about that problem.「In cavern」with「wild goose screams」and「feelings, spewing appendage」would necessarily elicit some sort of REACTION and RESPONSE when heard, such as when hearing the terrified screams of another person after sighting some other diseased appendage spewing venomous drops as the screams reverberated throughout the cave, AFFIRMING that something must be done about it, or the screaming may have been caused by medical treatments, reaming the urethra with a bougie to remove gleet, a painful procedure that caused blood-curdling screams as the curdled blood was being extracted.
Many, if not most, anthropologists understand that bonobos today exhibit the behavior of early humans, and modern humans, too:
「Sometimes females would rather GG-rub [genital-to-genital] with each other than copulate with a male. Parish filmed a 15-minute scene at a bonobo colony at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in which a male, Vernon, repeatedly solicited two females, Lisa and Loretta. Again and again he arched his back and displayed his erect penis—the bonobo request for sex. The females moved away from him, tactfully turning him down until they crept behind a tree and GG-rubbed with each other.」

「The bonobo, an African ape closely related to humans, has an even bigger sexual appetite. Studies suggest 75 percent of bonobo sex is nonreproductive and that nearly all bonobos are bisexual.」 [ https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/weird-animal-sex-facts 2023-05-44 ]
「Like humans but unlike chimps and most other animals, bonobos separate sex from reproduction. They seem to treat sex as a pleasurable activity, and they rely on it as a sort of social glue, to make or break all sorts of relationships. 'Ancestral humans behaved like this,' proposes Frans de Waal, an ethologist at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center at Emory University. 'Later, when we developed the family system, the use of sex for this sort of purpose became more limited, mainly occurring within families [i.e., incest]. A lot of the things we see, like pedophilia and homosexuality, may be leftovers that some now consider unacceptable in our particular society.' 」

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: to answer; to respond; to comply with; to deal or cope with; to agree (to do sth); should; ought to
Unihan extended: should, ought to, must
EDRDG: answer; yes; OK; reply; accept
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.
