Meanings of elements

ANSWER, REPLY, RESPONSE, ECHO with ENTWINE, MEASURE CURRENT FLOW, FISHTRAP and AN ASSEMBLY THE MERCHANDISE
…or: BAMBOO, BOWING OVER, KOWTOWING, LORDOSIS, FLEXIBLE with HAREM FIRST-STRING LINE-UP IN FRONT OF THE EMPEROR, FLUTE, ANCIENT UNIT OF VOLUME OF ABOUT 50ML OR 2 OUNCES
…or: LORDOSIS with ASSEMBLY LINE UP of MANY ORIFICES of the OFFICIAL REGISTER OF CONCUBINES

「Lordosis with assembly line up of many orifices of the official register of concubines, array of spread legs」results as FLUTED, FLUTES in view, referring specifically to the fluted labia lined up while in lordosis of a string of harem concubines. A KEY is only useful when inserted fully into a KEYHOLE and then screwed, twisted until unlocked, with the fluted entryways as the keyholes, naturally.「Response measuring current flow, fishtrap of an assembly of the merchandise, orifice goods」also seems to reference labial flutes and key holes more than it does a woodwind flute. Nonetheless,「echo, response and line up of holes with bamboo」and so on also describes a musical instrument. A Chinese jiangdi is purported to be a three-holed flute. KEY may well also refer to a musical KEY rather than a device that opens locks.
Frankly, both explanation are plausible with these elements that remain ambiguous, yet this glyph contains an element meaning「fishtrap, snare for slippery meat, fishy smells」that may not be easily identifiable with musical notes, but are so with vaginal flutes (and perhaps metal keys) from time to time. However in the only JIS instance in which this appears as an element (籲「head down cogitating」within this glyph) meaning 'beg, implore, appeal to, request' it does seem apparent that labial flutes of emperor-level concubines would more likely be the subject of intense begging, praying for earnestly, urgent and anxious appeals and so forth, rather than merely a woodwind with three holes.

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.
