Meanings of elements

VICIOUS, MISFORTUNE, BAD LUCK, CALAMITY, EVIL, FAMINE, CANNIBALISM with MARKED AS THE EMPHASIZED PART OF A GLYPH, THIS IS THE POINT, THIS SPOT RIGHT HERE with STICKY BLOB OR SPLAT, PUCKERED, FLAMING, MANY SEEDS IN ONE PLACE, JISM in CAVITY, OPEN CONTAINER, RECEPTACLE, BIN and PERSON WHO MUST REMAIN SITTING MOST OF THE TIME, DEVICE FOR SCOOPING FLUIDS, PERSON WITH NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FEET, DEVICE FOR GATHERING OR COLLECTING FLUIDS FOR A BRIEF TIME, SEXUAL SERVICES PROVIDER

Having the SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE to continue with「sticky splats」(likely gonorrhea in this case)「in cavity of concubine, service provider (匕 so popular in dynastic China)」and risk being infected herself as UNHINDERED.
It's what's for dinner: raw brains as the「sticky splat in cavity of fallen person」(a bit salty,「the other red meat」) as the SACRIFICE offered to those remaining alive. The extended meaning of UNFETTERED may refer to the state of the skull no longer holding in the brains, or more likely perhaps, that the「fallen person」will no longer be bothered by the cares of this world.「Salt」seems to be a merging of「sticky fluids」and「inside a cavity」as the salty taste of cerebral fluid. Note that there does not seem to be a Unicode element to represent the sticky fluids inside, so「splatted and sticky」has been substituted. The actual element seems to merge「soft spot, hole in skull bones of infant」with「sticky fluids」(but you'll need to reach your own conclusions as to why that is so…). Elements as「cavities full of sticky fluids」with「person who sits most of the time, concubine」suggests that her foot bindings have been removed and her feet are UNFETTERED as they are then in use by a client, and that her life has been SACRIFICED in order to provide such services for her owner's pleasure, or profit (if she is leased or rented on a short-term basis by her owner)…treating female service providers as commodities was common, referring to them using the euphemism of「sacrificial meat.」

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.
