「Surrounded by rotation of plugging orifice」may refer to spearing enemy bodies, and/or to the involuntary terms of conscription into the military required by liege lords.「Surrounded rotation with filled orifices」could very well be the sages' description of the MILITARY practice of using captured females/ males/ ewes as sex slaves that in more contemporary times are referred to as spearing, plugging, penetration of so-called 'comfort women' travelling with the troops—only gangs of thugs or the military have the might to bring along a gaggle of sex slaves for use during the journey.「Vehicle surrounded on all sides」by the waiting lines of soldiers.「Covered vehicles」were the MEATWAGONS, used by the soldiers with women prostitutes, as the ambulances, hearses, and portable kitchens. Note that the sages often were disparaging of war, armies, soldiering, and such: not when used for defense of course, but when used as a means of killing time and otherwise filling long afternoons of boredom, or war for the sake of war itself, or for the redistribution of wealth from one unfair condition to simply a different unfair condition. Then there is God Almighty's take on this matter, found in Deuteronomy 21:10 When you go to war…and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home…then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. 14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.

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.
