「Motions」that uses elements of 'emphasis on two no-longer-integrated feet and taut' to be used「in rotation」or also「motions in rotation plugging orifices then rotate again」may suggest the daily activities of a lord with his harem, but more likely that a shaman managing her service providers as owned possessions engaging in short-term rentals with clientele, everyone's SINGLENESS OF PURPOSE, CONTINUOUSLY and ONE AFTER ANOTHER IN SUCCESSION, each divine service provider being COUPLED, HOOKING UP WITH, CONNECTED TO, JOINED WITH the next ready client in the SERIES for a 'journey into heaven' while gambling with death:「rollin' rollin' rollin', keep those doggies movin'」…and so on, with raw hides aplenty.
「Vehicles, carts moving」IN LINE, ROWS, apparently related and connected to all others in SINGLENESS OF PURPOSE as an army on the move in a 'journey to heaven' (being willing to die, gambling with death) moving CONTINUOUSLY and ONE AFTER ANOTHER IN SUCCESSION, as if seemingly COUPLED together, ACCOMPANYING others, and GROUPED BY RELATEDNESS.
「Motion in rotation」also refers to progressing through the various stages until achieving enlightenment as a Buddha and might better explain the minor meaning of IN PROPORTION on the 'journey to heaven' gambling with death.

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.
