「Multiple prostrated students, younger brothers」: a「student」is someone eager to study, and「study」is, literally, the aggressive use of one's stud「to push, stick in, knock on, to beat.」Perhaps the stroke order used to draw the glyph is a clue to its meaning:「bowed-over in lordosis position, on all fours」「mourning, condolences」with「head dammed, head sliding down」to indicate a SEQUENCE or DEGREE of progression in steps of disease and infection, or when performing obeisance before a feudal lord, boss, or psychopathic corporate officer. Suggests a tertiary case of the pox or clap, in a fixed ORDER or a SEQUENCE of progression of the disease, and a DEGREE of some trait.
　A chronological SEQUENCE with ORDINAL NUMBERS (numbering a sequence in the order of occurrence). Each brother successively becoming infected by the elder brother(s) who came before him. First, half-hearted cleaning that did not remove the prior schmutz thoroughly (𥫤). Second,「rod in vertical reciprocal motions」in a「set of readied no-longer-integrated feet.」Third,「head becomes dammed」with scar tissue and plaque after the onset of disease. And fourth, mourning begins knowing a painful death is certain.
　A very similar glyph (笰) refers to a tool used to clean out the stinky slits in the feet after the client has done his business by scraping out the schmutz but in no way providing any antibacterial cleansing or protection, or to remove gleet from infected pecker-studs, hence the transfer of pathogens from one client to the next may have been an intermediate step in the sequence. As long as the service provider had no open wounds on her feet, and was careful with the cleaning tool, she herself may not have been infected during that session, but the guy NEXT IN THE SEQUENCE may not have been as lucky.
　Scholars postulate glyph refers to bamboo in arched shapes depicting a record keeping system involving slats tied together with jute in a scrolled roll, leading to the meaning of a SEQUENCE used for recordkeeping with writing on each inner surface. The system allowed for adding to an existing sequence of records by splicing on additional slats, thereby maintaining the correct chronological sequence and ORDINAL NUMBER of when each record was created. The whole thing could be rolled and tied for storage or transport, but it was heavier than hell and would have been extremely difficult to use, rolling and unrolling outdoors when a record was needed since the length soon became enormous. These same postulating scholars have never calculated the physical mass and unwieldy dimensions if used as some sort of all-China birth-marriage-lineage family registry of events as scholars imagine, nor comprehended the utter uselessness of such a system on other than an extremely small scale. Nonetheless, when applied on a very small scale, these long-lasting sturdy slats were useful short reference sources of repetitive things, such as: multiplication tables, recording the musical notes of a song, anthologies of sutras poetry and short tales, lists of philosophical proverbs and analects to be memorized, and short official documents such as written laws, and genealogies of feudal lords and aristocrats but not common folk, and personal letters for delivery. Slats of the reference variety were unearthed in Liye Village, Longshan County in Hunan from the bottom of a 16-meter deep well (50 feet or so) covered in silt, likely thrown into the cistern「as an action to hide」and preserve the slats, as is supposed.
　In fact, longer rolls of bamboo slats have been discovered in only one location, suggesting that everywhere else in China the postulated long rolls must have been consumed as a ready source of kindling, or, that these rolls were a one-off project ordered as busy work or punishment at a single place, a military garrison outpost by the Great Wall near Dunhuang where no permanent residents dwelt, only nomadic herders:
　「Military records of minutiae, the daily non-events of the garrisons in the Far West in the Han (206 BC-220 AD), were written on thin strips of bamboo or wood which were then bound together with string and rolled up for storage (rather like a tiny bamboo blind). Some of the wood-slips were cut quite thick and could be re-used. The unwanted text was simply planed off. [so much for permanent records, eh?] The events that the garrison soldiers on the Great Wall record are often extremely mundane, their lives filled with repetitive tasks like counting the piles of firewood (stored to light the beacons), counting the livestock and noting that one dog is missing. Occasionally they sallied forth and rounded up local miscreants and the next day they would release them.」
