Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
REPEATED with TALENTED, USE OF TWO HANDS
…or: REPEATED STREAM and TWO STATES, TURGID-FLACCID, LONGER-SHORTER
Glyph does not resemble the hands of most folks today in every detail, but HAND is the meaning. As an element, the「use of hands to accomplish a task.」Elements perhaps are a「repeated stream of two states」(open-handed and closed-fisted) used to grab and hold items, the primary use of a human being's hands. Chinese meanings add doing something PERSONALLY and CONVENIENT:「repeatedly bobbing head with stream of fluid, turgid and flaccid, two states of being」for accomplishing a task that smacks more of doing it yerself [sic] rather than paying for it one way or another.

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: hand; (formal) to hold; person engaged in certain types of work; person skilled in certain types of work; personal(ly); convenient
Japanese: hand, arm, forepaw, foreleg, handle, worker, help, trouble, care, effort, means, way, trick, move, technique, workmanship, and so on
Unihan extended: hand
EDRDG: hand

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.
