　The BURDOCK plant:「The leafstalks are generally hollow. …The prickly heads of these plants (burrs) are noted for easily catching on to fur and clothing (being the inspiration for Velcro®), thus providing an excellent mechanism for seed dispersal. Burrs cause local irritation and can possibly cause intestinal hairballs in pets. …Birds are especially prone to becoming entangled with their feathers in the burrs leading to a slow death, as they are unable to free themselves.」
　　[　https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdock 2013-07-27　]　
　BURDOCK ROOTS penetrate deeply into soil, more so than the taproot of most any other plant shaft, extending a meter or more in length.
　「Emerging shafts side-by-side」each one within the two feet of the same service provider (i.e., a bird or chick) also provide an excellent mechanism for seed dispersal.

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.
