Meanings of elements
PERSON in CHANGING STATE
…or: ROD TAUT with HAND
…or: a BIG ONE
…or: a BIG ROD
…or: ROD in BOTH HANDS
「Two states, changing state」with「male person」may simply be referring to the propensity of working these guys to death, a CONSCRIPTED LABORER, compulsorily employed (formerly known as a「coolie」but now politically incorrect to say so).「Two」used here may mean「two changing states of being」over「person」to represent being a child or adolescent, and then becoming an ADULT MAN. Perhaps「one, wide, rod」with「two hands, big, taut hand」(a person with hands indicating how large something is, for example the fish that got away, or how long an object may be). ADULT MAN, HUSBAND, and THAT thing…. Pundits say that the top horizontal stroke is a hairpin, a sign of male adulthood in ancient China, the meaning of THAT as a relative pronoun for some unnamed, or unnamable thing. Other glyphs suggest that measurements of a male's schwantz was indeed one standard used to determine entrance into adulthood (, ) as it is still in many locker rooms of today, so the latter explanation is not offered frivolously and would make more sense than 'hairpins on cavemen.'

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: (classical) this, that; he, she, they; (exclamatory final particle); (initial particle, introduces an opinion); husband; man; manual worker; conscripted laborer (old)
Japanese: male, man, husband, that, he, she, that person, my dear, honey, garnish, embellishment, each, every, either, respectively, severally
Unihan extended: man, male adult, husband; those
EDRDG: husband; man

Used within names (nanori)
お ・ と ・ ゆう ・ よ

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.
