Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ERECTION, QUICK MOVEMENT with PENIS
…or: STRAIGHT UP ERECTION with BENT PENIS
Today may be different, but in the old days, when a「straight up erection becomes bent, gnarled and twisted」it was difficult to deny at that point the bearer had been engaging in COPULATION. Even today, the teachings are that 'one does not contract an infection from a toilet seat—unless one copulates with a toilet seat.' Perhaps,「bent short leg」would be correct for this element. Note that "retroflex" means bent, curved, or turned backward.
 「Erection, quick movement」with「penis」depicting COPULATION. Reference to one's SON suggests one of the results of copulation (the son), and/or the imagination and activities of any young male offspring, generally. This element is often substituted for「emit, split」() and often associated with emissions of one sort or another (in life, too) as EMISSIONS DOWNWARD (see and used as elements, for example). Also used to depict that someone's feet have been amputated, either as a punishment, or, for medical reasons such as the feet became gangrenous due to over-tightening the cloth bindings after dis-integrating the bones.
 As NOT WALKING, might entail being too young to walk, injured and too lame to walk, feet too no-longer-integrated or recently no-longer-integrated, too old to walk, too amazed or excited to walk away, too stubborn or determined to walk away, squatting while being engaged in human sexual activity, squatting while being engaged in excretory activity, participating in a crap shoot, stirring coals, picking up shells at the beach, changing a diaper or a poultice, tupping a ewe, peering into a supper cauldron, stirring a supper cauldron, conducting a self-examination, conducting an examination of another person, and so on.
 Elements may also be「straight up」with「kneeling」so something in between those two positions might be imagined as SQUATTING…nonetheless, in spite of given meanings, if used to represent a leg in some sense rather than simply copulation, the elements「erection bent, curved penis」most likely refers to only ONE BENT LEG: a Chinese euphemism for the penis is「short leg, third leg」and if a past or present dose of gonorrhea has occurred, the penis will often be bent as in the English epithet,「get bent!.」
 As LEG RADICAL, perhaps the scholars are admitting tacitly that the dynastic Chinese copulated with no-longer-integrated legs…no set of legs looking as do these elements could be much good for anything else, in particular the ends of those legs…see dynastic Chinese erotic art for a pictoral explanation.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: non-syllabic diminutive suffix; retroflex final; son
Unihan extended: son, child
EDRDG: legs radical (no. 10)

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.
