Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
CRAWL, HOLD ON TO, CLING TO, DIG UP, TO RAKE, STRIP OFF and PULL UP, JERK UP AND DOWN, STRUGGLE UNTIL COVERED BY A WHITE FOAMY HEAD, PRICK PENETRATION, CLASSIFIER FOR FLOWERS AND BANKNOTE MONEY with SHEATH and ERECTION STRETCHED TAUT
…or: USELESS TALENT USING BOTH OF ONE'S HANDS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK with WOODY
…or: TALENTED HANDS with USELESS WOODY
…or: HAND USE and REDUNDANT with WOODY
…or: HAND USE INTENSELY
「Hand use」「more than necessary」with「plants」perhaps to move aside or push through many plants SEARCHING and GROPING for something edible in the soil below, such as mushrooms or insects. Some fonts display elements as「hand use」within a「pit hole cavity」with「cannabis herbs」() to describe intense, more than natural PROBING, GROPING, SEARCHING for some misplaced stash, or while under the influence.「Hand use」「more than natural, unnecessary」with「grasping for one's woody」is reminiscent of the English expression, 'he needs to piss to find his dick,' which also suggests PROBING, SEARCHING and GROPING. Scholars seem to prefer 'use hands surrounding bent legs in tree' as it refers to someone's hands and legs holding on after climbing to the topmost branches of a tree to look around and see where you are (?).

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)

Japanese: to search, to seek, to look for, sounding, probing, probe, stylet, spy, to feel around for, to fumble for, to grope for, to search for, to investigate, to probe into, to spy on, to sound out, to explore, to enjoy, in search of, in order to look for

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.
