Meanings of elements

INTERNAL NECROSIS, GREEN GELATINOUS MASS with CHANGING STATUS
…or: STONE, ROCK and ROTATE, PLUGGING ORIFICE, ROTATE

Giant clam shells can become rather large and roundish, wheel-like and are hard as are rocks. Yet, giant clams are unable to move after becoming mature, so the right element must refer to some other type of screwing. The species are hermaphrodites, and while self-fertilization has not been observed, each individual can and does fertilize any other individual of the same species, with two clams able to fertilize each other…hence,「plugging orifices and screwing in both directions」may be the elements of this glyph.
　The two sides of a mature giant clam's shell are unable to fully close and seal, hence there is always a channel at the shell seam, forming the image of「two wheels with an orifice for plugging between.」…the inner meat of a clam resembles female genitals with「orifices for plugging.」…the two sides of a mature vulva are normally unable to fully close and seal, hence there is always a channel at the flesh seam revealing the inner meat.

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: Tridacna gigas
Unihan extended: giant clam, Tridacna gigas
EDRDG: giant clam; tridacna gigas

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.
