Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ROD EMISSIONS, SMALL STREAM OF EMISSIONS, YOUNG MINOR, SMALL HUMAN MOUND OF MONS VENUS, MONS PUBIS, MONS VENERIS within EMPHASIS on CONSENT, READY WILLING AND ABLE TO DO, AFFIRMATIVE
…or: AT HOME and SIMILAR, TO RESEMBLE, TO BE ALIKE, MINIATURE OF SOMETHING ELSE, SHARE WITH ANOTHER, GETTING LUCKY, FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF ANOTHER PERSON
…or: emphasis on SURROUNDED with SMALL MOUNDS OF YOUNG MEAT
…or: DELIBERATELY OUT-OF-REACH AT HOME and GETTING A LITTLE MEAT
「Surrounded from above, at home」with「the small, young meat」and the lower element is figuratively「being as lucky as the next person.」Referred to performing activities normally conducted in the dark of NIGHT. Perhaps another meaning of literally「getting lucky」with a kill and eating what was hunted, a「little meat」after returning home at dusk, in the EVENING, a NIGHT BIRD HUNTING BUNNIES, RATS. Archeologists have determined that early humans generally preferred hunting small furry relatively defenseless animals such as rabbits and rats rather than huge mammoths capable of stomping humans into greasy spots, and doing so was more practical anyway since it was more difficult to consume the entire mammoth prior to spoiling than it was to consume a bunny or two (and what could be done with all that rotting meat?). Granted that mammoths were hunted for the really big holiday gatherings, much like the Super Bowl or World Cup final parties of today. Rodents and lagomorphs, and insects as well were a major source of protein for early humans, and still are eaten today all over the world, in all sorts of cultures, as「food.」[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat 2013-09-08 ] 
 Generally, based upon archeological finds of bones at dwelling sites, early humans sought small animals, rodents such as rats and rabbits, and not generally enormous mammoths as depicted in Hollywood movies, noodle commercials, and myths (and certainly none after the Clovis Culture extinction). Nobody wanted to suffer serious injury and waste time killing something that would soon spoil and was far beyond the capacity of a tribe to consume entirely, let alone carry back to the cave or other members of the tribe. In any case, humans generally hunted any animal with whiskers for food, something nearby and relatively small, not likely often anything larger than a horse. Neanderthals hunted mammoths, and coincidentally perhaps, both of those species have become extinct.

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: night
Japanese: evening, early night hours, night owl, nighthawk, late bird, to stay up late, to keep late hours
Unihan extended: night, evening, dark
EDRDG: wee hours; evening; early night

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.
