Meanings of elements

PLOUGHING INTO SOIL, TO COME, GRASP A HANDLE GRIP with THE COMMUNITY of MANY EMERGING SHAFTS
…or: GRASP A HANDLE GRIP to PLOW INTO SOIL and COME with OPENED STRETCHED DILATED
…or: GRASP A HANDLE GRIP to PLOW INTO SOIL and COME with PROLONGED UNFOLDING
…or: GRASP A HANDLE GRIP to PLOW INTO SOIL and COME with WELLING OF FLUIDS

Using a「plow nearby a well of water」or using a「plow all around」is an obvious reference to FIELD CULTIVATION, ARABLE LAND, FARMING as well as to various early human social behaviors, both as a「plowing community」and as「plowing communally」bonobo-style.
　Initially the community of females worked the rice paddies each season, not males in the traditional task of managing the planting and harvests (see 委 meaning 'entrust to another' with elements of 'cereal grains with female'). Perhaps the glyph refers to the original construction and plowing of new terraces being performed by serfs, conscripted males, and slaves with more physical strength as a group than females, generally. No mention here is made of what sort of furrow is actually being plowed and the glyph may have another figurative, or literal, reference base (see elements of 莀 meaning 'agriculture'). Right element formerly was 茻, leading to「ploughing soil with a multitude of rods in cavity.」

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.
