Meanings of elements

CALCULATE ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING, ANNUAL CYCLE and FOOT-DISINTEGRATING PROCEDURE, STOP FURTHER MOVEMENT, FINISHING BLOW
…or: HANDLING MUCH GONORRHEA, SEEDS AT STALK TIP with NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT

[Chinese version]「Cease, halt」「dwindling reserves, depletion」or「depleted no-longer-integrated-feet」perhaps due to brisk sales by a successful marketing campaign mounted by the shaman of her stock-on-hoof available for sale, the herd of chattel of live meat. Then again,「gonorrhea in cave with no-longer-integrated feet」may also be causing depletion of her stock-in-trade, necessitating some「calculations of estimated time remaining.」
「Life in caves as a hunter-gatherer society」「life farming plants as an agrarian society settled into villages of pit holes」and「life with foot-dis-integrating procedure, increased population in cities, sex slaves and selling human meat in markets, class levels in society, rise of religion, law, civil behavior, etc.」Yields HUMAN EXPERIENCE and HISTORY although only a brief summary.
「Calculation of time until stopped by gonorrhea」describes UNDERGOING, PASS THROUGH one's life EXPERIENCE, and many DIGNITARIES in the old days, as does「repeated woodies with no-longer-integrated feet in the cave」of a shaman providing services to her distinguished clientele (i.e., those customers paying in cash).

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.
