Border, LIMIT, and boundaries relate to a line between different jurisdictions or administrative districts, zones, village sections, town quarters, all areas with a separate set of laws, rules, and regulations.「Sloped soil walls with tonguing service providers」describe these borders, normally patrolled to limit unrestricted access across the lines with gateways and low walls if within a city, checkpoints, document verification and medical inspection stations enforcing quarantines if necessary. Borders encompass areas ranging in size from a country down to a small neighborhood.
「Slope gnawed, chewed up」as the absolute LIMIT may refer to the entire slope from top to bottom utilized for terrace farming and growing crops, a COUNTER FOR SLICES. Use of terraced slope farming methods that were EXTENDED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE up and down each slope to reach the natural RESTRICTIONS at the top and bottom of the hill's slope, the FURTHEST EXTENT, the absolute BOUNDARY and being able to progress no further, EXTENDING AS MUCH AS IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE until encountering a natural BOUNDARY.
Note that the actual「gnawing of buttocks」and in particular the anus, is not recommended as a best practice…see「parasitic pinworm infestation」(蟯) that can also infect other mucous membranes, worms that also「gnaw yer ass」to the absolute limit, and an Escherichia coli infection in one's upper gastrointestinal tract may kill by causing severe anemia or kidney failure.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that),
representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created.
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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today.
Sex had no shame in ancient China.
Why would it?
But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?
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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better?
Or could they 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 lexicon.
This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
