Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
GRAND, GLORIOUS, DISTINGUISHED UNOPENED BLOSSOMS ON PARADE with WEAVING WITHIN SPREAD LEGS, SNARE, CLAPTRAP, array of ORIFICES
…or: LACK OF UNIFORMITY, CALYX, UNOPENED BLOSSOM with CONTAINER, TROUGH, DISH, VESSEL, NETTING CLAPTRAP ON ROD
…or: NO NETTING on PLATE
「Grand netting」indicates the package being covered with that netting appears large, a real TROPHY.「No netting」and「no netting on plate」indicates the degree of freshness and lack of infection, suggesting a very young vessel, a TROPHY (see ). Interestingly, Western trophies often do indeed have holed handles, one on each side. A dish but「not a plate」that is also「clumsy on tray」as is a small round cup with no stem or handle, hence is a bit unstable, clumsy.
 「Plant calyx」is the outer wrapping around a flower bud, a small, round cup shape (similar to a shot glass, but rounded).「Wine glasses」not in the Western style, but instead small stemless bowl-like cups that hold only a single mouthful and then must be refilled.
 Related glyph () with same meaning,「not a woody」「unopened blossom of woody」may describe a female (again, see ), or, the unaroused state of a male, hence the shape of the full prepuce still enclosing the glans and having the appearance, and the same size, as a small handleless cup used to drink alcoholic beverages (other than beer). Octopus and squid both have cavities with no stem or handle filled with 'ink' used to create a black cloud behind while escaping in order to stymie a predator. A ship's hull also holds some amount of water as a vessel with no stem or handle.
 Mounting from behind enables grasping the pubic bone flange on each side of the hips known as the iliac crests of the pelvic girdle, but not as one might grasp a holed handle such as seen on a beer stein. As a counter for octopus and squid, perhaps a reference to phenomenal suction of the muscular hydrostatic cups located on cephalopod limb tentacles.

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: variant of 杯; trophy cup; classifier for certain containers of liquids: glass, cup
Japanese: sake cup, cup for alcoholic beverages, counter for cupfuls, counter for ships, octopuses and squid
Unihan extended: glass, cup
EDRDG: glass; cup

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.
