Meanings of elements

ARRAY of LOOSE DRIPPING PLUMS
…or: ARRIVAL AT THE GOAL, UTMOST with INVERTED SPREAD FEET or COERCION
…or: ARRAY of STENCH-FILLED TOMBS, GRAVES

Likely in regard to some OBSEQUIOUSLY POLITE BEHAVIOR while trying to please someone by DOING HUMBLY what the person would wish. In Chinese, elements of「arrive, to come」in the「utmost position by lying prone with spread feet crotch」and the ends of the legs (that is, the feet) positioned above or over the head, beside the ears, likely in regard to some special sort of DELIVERY or SENDING somewhere divine with FINE and DELICATE motions. Assuming such a position would CONVEY a message and likely be the certain CAUSE OF SPECIFIC BEHAVIOR also seen in modern fonts that pair elements of「utmost coercion」as once again suggesting that someone has received an offer that cannot be refused, ignored, or misunderstood as to intent—animals other than human beings still do this all the time when inviting a partner for sex as a surefire method for gathering a cluster of potential mates, and humans today can be seen to do so while performing in pole dancing establishments and while pledging for some college fraternities in order to elicit the exact same response. Note the difference in the right element using「prone and whacking」instead of「prone with feet inverted beside ears」results in one additional stroke in Japanese.
Chinese sources describe the non-JIS glyph 𠫔 as an old elemental form of「talented arm (with hand)」(肱) resulting in「meat and talented arm/hand with feces and inverted spread feet」: TO DO (the polite form).

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: fine; delicate; to send; to devote; to deliver; to cause; to convey
Japanese EDRDG: doth, do, send, forward, cause, exert, incur, engage
Unihan extended: send, deliver, present; cause

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.
