Meanings of elements

ENTER, TO GO INTO, PUT INTO, AGREE and STICKY BLOB OR SPLAT and GUSHING PLUMES

Purchasing something to satisfy future needs, likely a meat auction down by the slave market or in front of the shaman's cave o' wonders. Not for immediate enjoyment, bidding for sex slaves in the original market places.
Interestingly, some Japanese versions of this glyph use multiple「grasping and reaming」(⺕) elements or「gushing chunks」(勿, without the 'head' attached) rather than the two congealing no-longer-integrated feet elements used in traditional Chinese glyphs, yet both sets of elements could describe a「plume」only that in the Japanese case the referent may be to release of a long, arching discharge of fluids under pressure by a medical services provider rather than to no-longer-integrated feet that were not commonly found in Japan. Needless to point out perhaps is that the Chinese uses of two no-longer-integrated feet (羽) also were designed to cause the same sort of release of fluids under pressure in long, arching spurts and gushing chunks.

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.
