Meanings of elements

ENJOY, COMPARE, SPY ON and HAIR-RAISING PREPUBESCENT YOUNG GIRL, DIVINE, CRESTING HEAD, CONDITIONS WHEN ONE'S ROD IS RAISED
…or: PERSON with CHASTE FEMALE, FIRMLY UPHOLDING ONE'S MORAL PRINCIPLES, SEEKING THE WILL OF THE GODS
…or: SPYING with RAISED ROD
…or: PERSON DIVINING THE TRUTH

Right element is「know the will of the gods, chastity」which is to say, mysterious knowledge, that is very uncommon, extremely so in the old days even for「prepubescent females」(top-right element). A「person」who is attempting to「divine the truth」by acting as a DETECTIVE, INVESTIGATING THE SECRETS OF OTHERS, SPYING carefully as a「person under conditions when one's rod is raised with fleshpot」to see with his own eyes whether she is truly「chaste」i.e., still remains a virgin at that point, to determine whether he was cheated out of the purchase price for her deflowering.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. 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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they 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 lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
