Meanings of elements

THREADS MANY LOOSE FIBERS
…or: MANY LOOSE and DRIPPING with STRINGY SPUN THREADS, VARIOUS PENILE EMISSIONS, HUMAN CONNECTION, WHAT!? SCREAMING AND HOLLERING, MOST TENDER, UNWOUND BANDAGES FROM A GRAVE INFECTION, DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT, DARKENED, GANGRENOUS, PROFESSIONAL CARE NEEDED with a SMALL STREAM OF EMISSIONS DEEPLY FELT, DEEP FEELING DIFFICULT TO FORGET

Right element of「cut cleanly」contains four「fiber, loose and dripping」elements separated by「severed, hung, or hanged straight」and means「join smaller threads into a larger cloth」or「one cut end of rope into another」as a ROPE SPLICE, PATCH TOGETHER, WEAVE A PATCH INTO, CONNECTIONS, INHERITANCE and SUCCESSION. Procedures needed to SPLICE one rope into another entail exactly what is described by these elements. Right element simplified to one「severed, hanging straight」and「one big splat」replaced the two rope sets of「severed loose and dripping.」Uses「cut cleanly」maybe due to the need to cut the spliced-in threads cleanly to make splicing easier and as SEVERED TIES OF A FORMER HUMAN CONNECTION.
Concept of SPLICING into a rope appeared as many fibers braiding, and GRAFTING onto a tree as the cuts in the host tree bark, with the「cut cleanly」graft attached into the「puckered hole of four cuts, eight segments」(Japanese version) for a connection to「life-giving juices being ejaculated」from the cut hole as the tree sap, left element of「loose and sticky bent and dripping.」
Concept of「threads of human connections first cut cleanly and then being grafted or spliced」refers to a STEP-type family relationship (step-mother, step-brother, etc.). Another thought of many non-Asians may be to cleanly divide the inheritance among all the kin「puckered up」with greed, but historically this did not happen…the firstborn 'natural' son as the siblings elder brother is all who mattered and receive the lion's share, and everyone else knew this. If there was no son, then one was likely adopted, often from the family of a father's brother.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: to continue; to follow after; to go on with; to succeed; to inherit; then; afterwards
Japanese EDRDG: succeed, inherit, patch, graft (tree)
Unihan extended: continue, maintain, carry on

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.
