「Two」or「congealing」or「multiple drops, dripping」of something, with「vertical, rod」overlapping a smashed「horizontal」in a sort of mishmash to mean INTERNALLY DIVIDED, noting the horizontal stroke is somewhat different from that of「repeatedly bobbing」(ー) and looks more as if「horizontal」has been no-longer-integrated or stomped on one side and is now askew, suggesting a relationship with NEEDED BALANCE and POSITIONING to avoid falling over, or to adjust shape and consistency. Used as an element within both ear (耳) and pregnant (身) as two examples of internally divided body parts, although this element is no longer apparent except within old writing styles.
Meaning DIPPER, SCOOP (as do 匕, 勺, 刔, 枇, 剜, etc.) and used to represent the no-longer-integrated feet of a concubine as an example of a body part BROKEN INTO LARGE CHUNKS INTERNALLY but NOT FULLY SEPARATED, still held together by skin and ligaments but with all the internal bones no-longer-integrated into two large portions. Each no-longer-integrated foot NEEDED BALANCE and symmetry with the other to warrant the highest prices at auction or during short-term rentals:
「At the beginning of the binding, many of the foot bones would remain broken, often for years. However, as the girl grew older, the bones would begin to heal. Even after the foot bones had healed, they were prone to re-breaking repeatedly, especially when the girl was in her teenage years and her feet were still soft. …Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture, and a woman with perfect lotus feet was likely to make a more prestigious marriage. Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet. …Bound feet rendered women dependent on their families, particularly their men, and became an alluring symbol of chastity and male ownership, since a woman was largely restricted to her home and could not venture far without an escort or the help of watchful servants.」

Also meaning to FIGHT, STRUGGLE, CONDEMN, CENSURE, CONTEND, to PUT TWO ADVERSARIES TOGETHER, a BATTLE such as might ensue related to any flesh or foot-dis-integrating endeavor. This glyph is also became the simplified form of「two guys bent over and whacking at each other with spiked clubs or maces attempting to mash each other into large chunks」(鬥, 鬦, 闘) likely causing internal injuries and broken bones without completely tearing off the afflicted limb, somewhat like Roman gladiators.
This glyph as an element also represents「fleeing, abruptly running off in tears」after a FIGHT, STRUGGLE, a CONDEMNATION, or being CENSURED.
