In Chinese this glyph depicts a CLOUD AT GROUND LEVEL, but the natural order of things is that a strong wind will blow away mist or fog, as fog normally occurs only in conditions of little or no wind, so this glyph likely referred to something else as has already been mentioned…「Emerge」as does a glans penis from its prepuce, and with the lower elements of「straight up, thrusting forward」in a「repeated」or「wide array」of「vulvas and short legs」or「repeatedly loose dripping stink from orifice」may also refer to an individual's own form, manner or style of attaining orgasm. A「penis tip swinging freely and unfettered」also possibly often becoming TEMPESTUOUS and RAINING DOWN LARGE DROPS, a severe storm if those drops are infectious. References using this glyph to「vapors, clouds, smells」also largely emanate from the meatus, the glans portion of an infected penis. The Chinese use an expression loosely translated as the「moment of the clouds and the rain」to describe orgasm, likely related to this glyph and that of「billowing cloud of vapor.」

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.
