Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SHRINE OR TEMPLE PROSTITUTION, RELIGIOUS CONVERSION, ADOPTING A NEW SET OF BELIEFS, I BELIEVE!, CONGREGATION OF BELIEVERS with multiple DOWN, RODS DOWN
…or: NECESSARY, DRIPPING FROM ORIFICES, DROPS FALLING with SHOW, DISPLAY, INDICATE, ALTAR, RELIGION
「Falling drops」or「something of value, essential」or「dripping orifice(s)」with「display, presentation」meaning A SIGN of being in estrus, IN HEAT, and negotiating a BUSINESS TRANSACTION, to take or to be offered A CHANCE.
 Also meaning the person chosen to become the sacrifice for a group used for HOSTAGE as the person chosen to be sent over to a less-than-completely-trusted camp and held as collateral, in the past usually a subjugated lord's daughter…hostages were often sacrifices, since everyone knew the person would not likely ever return home.
 Means TO CAST LOTS or DRAW LOTS, to take or to be offered A CHANCE, as in drawing straws, a method of selecting one from many possibilities to become the sacrifice/ hostage. Casting lots was also described by Moses as the manner in which the Eternal decides stuff, in effect, a crapshoot. Referred to a TAG used to MARK a person or an animal as a SIGN of which to use as the chosen one to sacrifice. Today, the most common usage relates to a voting BALLOT (「ballot」being small 'balls' used to cast 'lots,' or ball-lot, that were first used to decide a LOTTERY). The same English root is used in「lottery」and formerly had nothing to do with voting or a democratic process of any kind, other than everyone had an equal statistical chance (theoretically) of becoming the「chosen one」sacrificed to likely die by the hands of one's enemy.

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: ticket; ballot; bank note; person held for ransom; amateur performance of Chinese opera; classifier for shipments and business transactions (dialect)
Japanese: vote, ballot, label, ticket, tag, stub
Unihan extended: slip of paper or bamboo; ticket
EDRDG: ballot; label; ticket; sign

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.
