Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
FLUID that is SKEWED, SLANTED TO ONE SIDE
…or: FLUIDS with EVENING ACTIVITIES
…or: FLUID with HEAD SLIDING into NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT and emphasis within
「Flow at evening」or「flow with meat」as EBB TIDE, SALTY or BRACKISH, an OPPORTUNITY. Related glyph () with the same meanings uses「morning meat」as elements. Solar tides as well as evening and morning tides were very noticeable to the sages, and remain so to this day. Low tide provides an OPPORTUNITY to collect items normally submerged, such as the「meat」of clams and urchins, and for birds and other animals to feed in areas normally covered by seawater. Tides also affect large rivers, and if near the sea a river may become BRACKISH near the mouth as a result.
 Tides are caused generally by two gravitational forces, that between the Earth and the Moon (the strongest force) and that between the Earth and the Sun (causing weaker tidal action, 46% of the lunar force). Lunar tides can occur anytime throughout the day, since the Moon's positioning changes daily relative to any one spot on the Earth as the phase of the Moon changes due to its orbit around Earth, with a cycle of 12 hours and 25 minutes each time the Moon passes overhead or behind any position. But solar tides occur every 12 hours as the Earth spins, with the ebb tide lowest in the「evening」and at dawn, at any point where the Sun's gravity is attracting ocean water at (roughly) a right angle relative to the ebb tide position. During the new moon phase, when the Sun and Moon are on the same side of Earth and the two gravitational forces are combined, the condition of a syzygy occurs with the highest and lowest tides, with the full moon phase very nearly as strong. When the Moon is in its first and third quarter phases, the tides are at lowest ebb since the Sun and Moon are now positioned at a right angle relative to Earth and their gravitational vectors are not combined. Therefore, in most places near the sea, tides occur most anytime throughout the day and night, as well at every 12 hours morning and evening.
 「Flow with meat」or「fluid flows with or from meat」may also describe meat lacking a baculum or baubellum, such as that of humans, having flows of slightly SALTY FLUIDS in a TIDAL-like motion and delivery manner, generally occurring twice each day, and also indicative of any OPPORTUNITY that arises…. Human beings as hunter-gatherers generally engaged in「meat flows」twice daily, in the morning after waking and prior to departing to hunt or gather, and in the evening upon returning to the communal cave carrying supper meat.
 Right element sources are「head (marked inside) no-longer-integrated foot meat」as the place SALTS were used to cleanse, dry, and disinfect the flesh seam created by bending over the sole of each foot into a hairpin shape, and it requires little if any imagination to understand how this condition also applies to all the given meanings. Concubines and service providers used salts in the deep skin slits of their bound feet, a likely source of the English expression meaning to accept the bad along with the good but continue to have some skepticism and reservations,「take it with a grain of salt.」Even only one single grain of salt remaining in the flesh seam of a no-longer-integrated foot would cause discomfort to a client, but hey, that was just par for the course which was ordered and paid for.

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)
Chinese: night tides; evening ebbtide
Japanese: tide, current, salt water, opportunity
Unihan extended: night tides, evening ebb tide
EDRDG: eventide; tide; salt water; opportunity

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.
