Note however, that anyone taking a half stride or attempting to walk with only one leg will simply FALL OVER as did animals without backbones, or, hop about in circles as might an injured bunny. TO FALL OVER, since anyone with only one leg, or taking only half strides but not moving the other leg will not be walking far.
As outrageous as this the external definitions for this glyph seem, what is even more outrageous it the fact that:「Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

…and with this many possibilities we should expect a full range of variations and personal styles, 'tastes' as it were. The Chinese learned early on that the anus and its associated region contain plenty of nerve endings…a「really good」no-longer-integrated foot only had the large toe still attached that could be deeply inserted and manipulated to apply pressure on the prostate gland (the male equivalent of a Gräfenberg spot) as an animated butt plug—the other toes had fallen off:
「…The tightness of the binding meant that the circulation in the feet was faulty, and the circulation to the toes was almost cut off, so any injuries to the toes were unlikely to heal and were likely to gradually worsen and lead to infected toes and rotting flesh. If the infection in the feet and toes entered the bones, it could cause them to soften, which could result in toes dropping off. Although, this was seen as a benefit because the feet could then be bound even more tightly. Girls whose toes were more fleshy would sometimes have shards of glass or pieces of broken tiles inserted within the binding next to her feet and between her toes to cause injury and introduce infection deliberately.」

USING ONLY ONE LEG because the other is a「ruined, scarred」(址)「orifice for compacting」and so on.
Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: brief; short step
Unihan extended: to step; a stride equal to half a pace
EDRDG: to step; stride equal to half a pace
Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that)
and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language.
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!
Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up.
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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary.
This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
