Meanings of elements
STREAM of EMISSIONS
「Emission」of a「stream」that is SMALL-SIZED, something akin to the English slang expression referring to a small, young person as a SQUIRT. In Chinese also meaning a YOUNG person capable of emitting only a SMALL AMOUNT, implying that the emission does not continuously flow, since that would create a larger river or an unreal mess. Based upon usage in old texts, scholars suggest the meaning of SMALL MOUND, generally one that is man-made, or, made of human tissue (see ).「Small stream emitted near the mound of a young human being」with that MOUND in fact being the protruding pubic bone of a human, mons veneris. Also represents a DEEP FEELING that often can be recalled from memory for one's entire life, an UNFORGETTABLE moment. In some modern fonts this element is written inverted, such as when referring to light rays or to prized booty, but the meaning is the same. After discharging a「stream of emissions」the condition returns to the relatively SMALL size (flaccid) and will no longer remain in the relatively BIG size (turgid), generally.

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.
