Meanings of elements

IN BED with WOODY and HAND
…or: HEMP by HAND
…or: CAVERN of WOODY GROUP BUDDIES and HANDS

Rubbing hemp stalks together in order to separate the fibers. The process of extracting fibers from hemp involved cutting down the very hard, stiff, turgid stalks of hemp, allowing them to lay in the field while retting to soften the outer hurds and become flaccid, and then beating the stalks to separate the fibers for making cloth, discarding the hurd byproduct as superfluous scrap.
A「cavern for woody group of buddies as similar types with hand」also depicts RUBBING STALKS BY HAND in an effort to STROKE and EXTRACT THREADS, as times causing some CHAFING, ABRASION when enjoyed to excess, a long-established bonobo and human undertaking as a social medium, networking, extending one's circle of friends, following the lead of others, and so on.
「Hemp in hand」such as when not passing a doobie, bogarting while with friends, will cause some CHAFING, ABRASION of the relationships among the group circle.

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.
