Meanings of elements

DOG, BEAST and PROTECT, DEFEND, GUARD, UPHOLD, HOLD UP HIGH
…or: HAIRY DOG DELIBERATELY SURROUNDED by SQUEEZING GRIP, FEEL OF FLUIDS PUMPING

「Hairy animal deliberately out of reach, at home with squeezing grips」can refer to someone trained for squeezing meat (see related and similar glyphs).「Animal for protection, from home with a squeezing grip」is also perhaps referring to a dog warning humans of danger. It might be argued that the most important function of a DOG WHILE HUNTING as their primary task is to warn and protect a hunter from approaching bears, snakes, tigers, other humans, or any such possibly dangerous beasts. Flushing game and retrieving bird carcasses with a squeezing grip is also a specialized task that hunting dogs can perform, but not one well utilized until the invention of the shotgun.
　「Pig-dog surrounded by squeezing grip」suggests a human male ON THE HUNT, HUNTING for orificial [sic] relief of some sort, the hunt for getting lucky as it were, going on a RAID, a RAIDING PARTY, or an IMPERIAL TOUR of the emperor seeking to add to his harem, taking his PICK and GATHERING virgin lambs. A lord WINTER HUNTING for those with newly-no-longer-integrated feet.

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.
