Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ROD and LOOSENED with ERECTION
…or: HORIZONTAL with NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED LOOSE FOOT and NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT BENT FOR WRAPPING
…or: LOOSENED with GASPING TENSION
For unequivocal depictions of FEMALES in dynastic China that are supported by these three elemental meanings when combined, research for yourself some examples of Chinese erotic art. Nonetheless as would be expected, elements vary and are simplified when used within complex glyphs, so be sure to see , 'a narcissistic sexual service provider,' and , 'sexual services providing bird,' both with the same meaning. This glyph is one of the clearest examples of why other sources no longer explain the meaning of individual elements…why continue to alienate over half the world's population? Significantly, the former version () included the「fluids, flow」element…first recall how male-chauvinist the world was only a short time ago, or still is, and then ask yourself: why were flowing fluids fundamentally associated with females?
 Drawn with different element sets:「array, rod」with「loose, flapping, in motion」and「erection」(or,「the head」some say) as three strokes, or as「loose」and「no-longer-integrated feet, in high tension a long time with gasping」using only two strokes instead of the usual three, with both sets forming a shape similar to that of 'crotch' and 'spread feet.' Not coincidentally, , , , and as female, forbidden, mother, and penetrated (respectively) all utilize the same basic elements as FEMALE, with slight variations.
 Glyph is a continual reminder of the formerly ubiquitous Chinese practice of foot bone dis-integrating and highlights the general male treatment of females in the past:「It is estimated that more than one billion Chinese women had their feet bound from the late 10th century to the early-20th century.」
  [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2013-06-27, emphasis ours ]  And as perhaps a strong contributing reason as to why one in five humans on the planet today are of Chinese ancestry, since at one point roughly half the females in China were converted into sex machines. Undeniably, some machismo cultures today still perceive females as nothing more than sex machines, baby-making factories, household slaves, and so on.
 「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

 「Bound feet were a mark of beauty…[folks] took great pride in tiny feet, with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet. …Bound feet rendered women dependent on their families, particularly their men, and became an alluring symbol of chastity and male ownership, since a woman was largely restricted…and could not venture far without an escort or the help of watchful servants.」

 「Viewing women as commodities [see ] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

 Recall also that women in the United States of America were not deemed competent or qualified to vote in elections less than little more than a century ago, so it would seem that the opinions of the ancient Chinese were not entirely different from that of the U.S. founding fathers and men of just the last century, or even today in devoutly strict, religious countries…. Women were not taught to write or read, and generally prohibited from education. Dominant males have been pretty much the same throughout most of history, and most every place worldwide.
 Moreover, the sale (that is, the 'bride price') and marriage of young girls still happens today on a grand scale.
 「The incidence and prevalence of child marriage is analyzed and reported in a variety of ways. A 2012 report from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) provides evidence that 'Nearly one in every four adolescent girls aged 15-19 in the developing world (excluding China) is currently married or in union.' The report goes on to say that 'More than one third of women aged 20-24 in the developing world were married by age 18…'」
  [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage 2013-11-07 ]  As the research states, men still can sell their female kin into slavery or prostitution, and frequently do…
 「Until the Chinese communists took power in 1949, bigamy, concubinage and child marriage were commonplace. In 1950, Beijing enacted a new law that outlawed these practices. The law also enforced monogamy in an effort to make women more equal to men in Chinese society.」
   [ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/18/chinese-academic-suspended-for-advocating-polygamy 2021-06-19 ]
 Marriage is a relatively recent institution in our species’ 300,000-plus-years of history, originating perhaps 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, and until quite recently served to bind women to men as property assets, to ensure paternity, and protect the male's lineage among descendants. That puts marriage at ~1–2% of the age of Homo sapiens.

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: archaic variant of 汝; female; woman; daughter
Japanese: woman, female
Unihan extended: woman, girl; feminine
EDRDG: woman; female

Used within names (nanori)
おな ・ た ・ つき ・ な

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.
