Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
TREE like EARS in VILLAGE
…or: FLAGSTAFF BASE, FLANGED PILLAR with ARRAY OF VERTICAL MOTIONS and VILLAGE, FRONT VIEW OF NAKED GENITALIA
…or: WOODY with EH? WHAT WAS THAT? INTERJECTION INDICATING ENTHUSIASM or PLEASANT SURPRISE or HARD OF HEARING CONDITIONS
「Ear」resembles the shape of a vertical flag attached to a pole used in China and Japan to identify soldiers as belonging to one side or the other of a battle, and with「village」may be depicting the shape of the leaves of a tree, one that has very large leaves like those flags that were stuck into soldiers' backsides. Some dictionaries explain that large PALM leaves resemble ears, maybe those of an elephant. Elements suggest「wood listening for vagina」as female sexual vocalization during intercourse.「Adjust pressure, balance and positioning with wood shaft and front view of genitals」that indicates various PALMING activities, as does「wood with an indication of enthusiasm.」

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)

Unihan extended: palm tree, coconut palm

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.
