Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
GOAL, AIM, FOCUS ON, EYEING COPULATION, BENT LEG
「Eyeing a "bent leg"」「eyeing, goal, aim of copulation」as an INTERVIEW, VIEWING THE INSIDE PARTS, SEEING, LOOKING, SHOWING, APPEARING and EXAMINING, CLOSELY WATCHING the details of procedures or problems. Some say squatting while PEERING into a fleshpot and taking a LOOK at the evening's supper meat, SEEING what will be eaten. More likely however, is someone stopping to PEER, LOOK with elements of「goal, eyes」and「copulation」as someone WATCHING that sort of action. A person working as a fleshpot (貝) with legs bent SHOWING something between them that others would naturally wish to SEE and LOOK AT, WATCH…「fleshpot」at times can substitute for「a looker」for example as in 蜆, 蛽. Perhaps LOOKING closely with one's eyes inspecting flesh prior to copulation or consumption, inspecting the potential partner for ominous symptoms of ill health (still a good practice today…sniffing is, too). It's always better to start a physical relationship with one's eyes wide open watching carefully than being blinded by lust and leaping in before looking.
With the「goal of copulation」and training new recruits as service providers, always remember that「You can observe a lot by watching.」[ Yogi Berra ] and we covet that which we SEE every day but do not ourselves have, EYEING ONE'S AIM, the GOAL OF COPULATION.
Frankly though, peering too closely while LOOKING, VIEWING, SHOWING can also result in temporary blindness,「copulation with eye」(it happens…see 糢 for details), or might result in the transference of a viral infection….

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: to appear; to see; to meet; to appear (to be sth); to interview
Japanese EDRDG: see, hopes, chances, idea, opinion, look at, visible
Unihan extended: see, observe, behold; perceive

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.
