Meanings of elements

PERSON and FOOT-DISINTEGRATING PROCEDURE, STOP FURTHER MOVEMENT, FINISHING BLOW, TO SWITCH OFF, TO CONCENTRATE UPON AND PAY ATTENTION TO, PUT AN END TO

「Person」above「foot-dis-integrating procedure, stop further movement, concentrate upon and pay attention to」is contemplating the execution of a PLANNED ACTION:
「Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2012-12-17 ]
「Person」「about to dis-integrate foot bones for life, movement halted suddenly」is someone ALARMED and ready for ACTION, thinking hard about the next move and PLANNING what to do. The various other meanings listed can all be related to this scenario as either the girl about to be maimed, or as the person commanding or contemplating the performance of the maiming: TO PLAN A LONG-TERM PROJECT, a SCHEME, TRICK, INVENTION and so on.
「Person with foot-dis-integrating process, halting, stop and start」as STANDING ON TIPTOE is an obvious reference to how females with no-longer-integrated feet in China needed to trip along taking tiny steps wearing special shoes that caused them to appear to be walking on their toes, actually the same basic shape as HIGH HEELS today: does wearing high heels all day make one feel like an owned sex slave with no-longer-integrated arches? do high heels highlight the sex appeal of long legs of a female as sexual objects, just as they were in dynastic China? maybe just a little, for just a few (「contemplate how to undertake deceit」).

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. 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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they 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 lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
