Meanings of elements

PROCEDURES DISINTEGRATING FEET with ARRAY OF DOG PENIS, STUDS
…or: LINE, ARRAY of WILD DOGS, WOODEN STAKES, TAPERED WOODEN SHAFTS FOR DRIVING INTO SOIL with CEASING MOVEMENT, DIVINE RAISED LEG

「Line of dogs ceasing, halting movement」with lances perhaps.「Array of dogs with a finishing blow」as MILITARY. A line of foot soldiers standing erect with spear pointing at the enemy, halted and not moving, suggests VALOR and BRAVERY although not too much about the art of war, frankly. Battling while standing shoulder to shoulder in unmoving lines that the enemy could clearly see and attack with cannon or arrows has proven to not be the best strategy in the long run (seems fairly stupid, in fact).
　「Array of woody stakes with foot-dis-integrating」: however, a service provider stopped on her backside having no-longer-integrated feet, facing various procedures with a line of erect dog studs, suggests ever more VALOR and BRAVERY taking risks, and epitomizes far better the ART OF WAR and how to win the battle for survival as outlined by the shamans: MARTIAL ARTS employing subtle skill, craftiness, clever techniques…and not the obvious frontline assault hacking with swords in lines used by males. 'martial' mean 'of Mars' the red planet, and red is the color of sex as well as blood.

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.
