Visual analysis: Time flows from right to left. A temporally limited process is illustrated. The y-axis shows the progression of a time-dependent variable that indicates the intensity of the process. The intensity increases until it reaches its maximum. Subsequently, it decreases until the process ends.

Derived meaning: The intensity of the process could be measured as the benefit that the process yields. The meaning of the sign is thus "temporally limited process that yields benefit" or "someone who is utilized for a temporally limited process."

Usage: There are different types of usage:

  • As a noun, the sign has the meaning "cow," since cows have a temporally limited lactation and their milk provides benefit to the farmer.
  • As a noun, the sign also has the meaning "man fulfilling his service obligation," since the service obligation is temporally limited and provides benefit to the king.

Conventional interpretation: cow
