Meanings of elements
NIGHT SOIL with FLACCID, DANGLING, BECAME DIVINE, GONE TO HEAVEN
Elements truly require no further explanation…see related glyphs for similar pronunciations and meanings. Note however that fecal matter is characteristically salty, even to the point that some animal species seek it for ingesting and obtaining necessary nutrients for life. Coprophagy is a widespread survival strategy in the animal kingdom. Animals such as porcupines are famously driven to seek salt for the chemical element sodium due to its scarcity in plant-based diets and possess an intense, well-documented biological drive for sodium. Lagomorphs (rabbits, hares) produce two distinct types of turds: hard, dry round fecal pellets and soft, nutrient-dense clusters called cecotropes which are expelled directly from the anus and eaten immediately. Many rodents practice coprophagy to ingest feces, often selecting specific soft fecal material directly from the anus or fresh turds. Infant elephants, hippopotami, and giant pandas regularly consume the fresh dung of their mothers or other adult herd members. Hey, why not?

External source definitions
...none located, and you ought to ask yourself, why not?
Definition speculated from combining the elements and from usage in other glyphs.

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.
