Meanings of elements
HEAD AND NECK DANGER, REAMING DISEASED PENIS, SWINE'S SNOUT, PIG'S HEAD, DOG SNOUT (as euphemisms) in SHELL with TAIL, PENIS
Glyph seems to maintain a single shell shape with clawed feet, rather than the apparent division of the modern glyph. TURTLE, TORTOISE. Also meaning to become a CUCKOLD, which is a female with her meat reamed end-to-end () by two or more sources: note that「turtle head」is a Chinese euphemism for the glans penis, especially as it contracts into the foreskin (「cuckolded」because one's wife is being unfaithful, one's schmekel is shrinking and contracting into the foreskin) and resembles a withdrawn turtle head when the animal is protecting itself. The upper「head and neck in danger」appears to have folds of skin「wrapped」around the neck, and the lower portion is the animal's「shell with a tail.」A turtle head reams its own flesh internally as it is withdrawn while the animal is protecting itself, and the human penis also not only reams flesh internally, but itself is reamed internally with a bougie during treatment for gonorrhea, historically ().

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)

Unihan extended: turtle or tortoise; cuckold

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.
