A place where one tends to DWELL, or to REMAIN A LONG TIME. A place where a person continues in a given condition or state of being, to LINGER, to be where one wants to remain. Element used on right in glyphs meaning VILLAGE and a euphemism for naked HUMAN VAGINAL AREA (邑:「penis within the merchandise, multiple orifices」) when used with sexual innuendo, generally. See 媧 as「female pubic structure」that refers to the slimy meat within the logarithmic spiralling corkscrew shape of a snail shell, the SNAIL GODDESS. Also represents a「scorpion burrow」as the orifice into a deep spiralling cavity, a wide open twisting hole and pathway down a slippery slope, the hole into which the「scorpion tail, appendage spewing venom, human penis」disappears. Home of the common class of humans who are likened to scorpions and who also burrowed into the soil when making a pit hole as home (屄).
　Individual elements of the source glyph are「orifice」above「scorpion burrow」which taken together represents the twisting hole we all have emerged out of (compare English「screwed」) and an oblique reference to where you formerly emerged from, your mother at home, and her vagina. Where you were born (your HOME VILLAGE). Original source glyph uses「orifice, mouth」to denote the two ways to a man's heart at home in his VILLAGE: food and sex, since both mouths and vaginas are orifices. If this element appears on the left side but with the identical shape, the meaning is「terraced slope, buttocks, backside.」
　Refers to a VILLAGE that is not always some remote place way out in the countryside, but also are special districts, zones, quarters within a larger city or town, often in the old days marked by surrounding walls with SOIL SLOPES and gateways as checkpoints, restricted entryways, a self-contained city area as a separate community having its own specialized business establishments that cater to a specific kind or class of patron, but also its own local laws, government regulations, customs, and even language at times that apply within an administrative division at the local government level, patrolled by police.
