「Soft spot on head, weaving or whacking」with「technique for sticky and gooey」(see 朮 that is used in traditional Chinese instead of 'wood' used in Japanese fonts) with「weapon, tool, stiff skin of crotch」meaning to SLICE OFF some sort of a head and HURT, CUT DOWN or PARE, REDUCE.
「Fontanelle, infant and pivoting opportunity with crotch」suggests raping a child to death, i.e., to SLAUGHTER.
「Human cannibals likely took a big bite out of their fellow humans about 10,000 years ago, according to a study that examined prehistoric bones with scratch and bite marks on them. …In the end, they discovered 30 bones belonging to three individuals: a robust adult, a gracile adult and an infant. However, the infant had only one complete bone (a shoulder blade, or scapula) that did not show signs of cannibalism, the researchers said. …But the practice goes way back: there's even evidence of Neanderthal cannibalism in Belgium and Spain from more than 40,000 years ago, when they went extinct, Live Science previously reported.」

Some suggest the left elements are「whacking woody」as descriptive of the consequences and blood from a beheading, to SLAUGHTER and KILL by decapitating and/or emasculating the dead (摋)…hey, why not? Still done to this day…. Chinese sources describe 11 strokes (including a marker with ) while Japanese fonts display 10 strokes and「wood」rather than techniques for handling sticky and gooey situations…but those changes do indicate the location of the head involved, in many cases.
Chinese elements described the intense 'killing' pain and screaming associated with a bougie weaving in and out of stretched crotch skin as a technique for treating a sticky gooey woody that was screwing in copulation where it oughtn't have been (these elements individually).
Elements could also be describing the process of opening a skull in order to access the brains, and legends have long been passed along from antiquity of human men with their brain centered in the glans rather than the skull. One way or another, the glyph refers to TECHNIQUES FOR OPENING A HEAD TO EXTRACT THE GOOEY CONTENTS.
「We know that human sacrifice and cannibalism were widely practiced in pre-literate societies and that they were not local but universal cultural phenomena…. [T]he ancient Chinese also participated in this culture, which has much in common with the [Journal of Generative Anthropology] position about the violent origin and early development of human civilization….」

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.
