「Sticky wad and battle among service providers, internally divided」as reference to physical MATERIAL or INSIDE STUFF, related to these two elements as「sticky wad」with「no-longer-integrated feet」and to the FEE or CHARGE by shamans to use such feet as short-term rentals, including a battle among service providers for each client and who gets the credit for success as internal division among the shaman's workers: all the SALARY to one, or, internally divided among the participants by ESTIMATION, CONJECTURE, GUESS?
Right element is「internally divided」with reference to no-longer-integrated bones inside the sacks of skin that were once feet, a procedure so common in China that it is estimated 40-50% of females had their feet no-longer-integrated and bound during the nineteenth century, a total over time of a billion individuals (law of supply for high demand). Further meanings of DECORATIONS, ADORNMENTS, ORNAMENTATION also refer to concubines tastefully placed around the lord's chambers like flowers in a vase, almost always in a sitting position and with「sticky no-longer-integrated feet.」…or to「sticky wad」with「internally divided, broken but not fully separated」as HAIR ORNAMENTATION, that is, dried semen stuck in hair that was broken up a bit but not yet fully picked, plucked out with fingernails or combed out yet.
Literally「18 liters of rice grain」that a feudal lord might CONJECTURE, RECKON, GUESS could keep one serf alive for one year equalling an ESTIMATED 50 grams per day, with scrounged vegetative and fungal supplements from the forest or cavern floor also assumed, along with a few snared small, furry protein sources. Today refers to one's annual SALARY, and by applying this same reasoning.
Note that the specified and measured quantity was not conjecture, rather, it was conjecture whether that amount was indeed the minimum on which a peasant could survive for a year without starving as the subject of the GUESS. It made no sense for the lord to waste grain making pissant peasants fat instead of his own family and concubines…same reasoning is used today to determine minimum wage limits versus Wall Street bonuses, apparently.
