勹

ba̅o = b + ao1

archaic variant of 包[bao1]

勹 = 丿 + ㇆ : 勹 looks like an elephant: 丿 looks like the edge of the ear and ㇆ looks like the head and trunk.

Beelzebub (b) rides an elephant in front of the aorta (ao1), turning the soil with a plow (㇆). Lots of bananas (丿) are revealed in the turned earth.

屮

chè = ch + e4

plants sprouting

I don't know but somehow I have to think of a thornbush when looking at this character. Maybe because it looks so spiky. To make things interesting let's say this represents a burning thornbush talking to people. The burning thornbush talks to Charlie Chaplin (ch) in the elevator's bathroom (e4) and tells him what to do, but Charlie won't listen.
