Meanings of elements

CALM AND PEACEFUL, PREFERENCE FOR, WITHIN A VESTIBULE and PLOPPED, CUT DOWN
…or: DELIBERATELY OUT-OF-REACH, AT HOME with RECIPROCATING LATERAL ROD MOTION and HIDDEN, CONCEALED, PENIS
…or: SURROUNDED FROM ABOVE with ENTRUST, REPEATEDLY PLACING ONE'S FAITH IN

[Elements vary by font] see the original Chinese glyph 㡯 (don't miss it) for the actual explanation of this glyph,「deliberately out-of-reach, surrounded and entrusting」and why it most certainly means one's OWN HOME, why someone in any case must REMAIN IN ONE'S OWN HOME, the personal pronoun YOU, and GRAVE CIRCUMSTANCES.
Now for the nice interpretations:「surround from above, roof of a home, deliberately out-of-reach」with「entrust, complete faith in」is the place where a person has a HOME. A polite term for YOU as in「I am trusting you」while I am a guest in your home, maybe? possibly depicts being entrusting of another sufficiently to allow that person into your home, and the use your roofed pit hole as a home for a while, say, during your trip to the Bahamas. Or, for you to trust another person sufficiently to stay in the other person's pit hole and sleep.
Some of a scorpion's favorite prey is the trap-door spider, often killing it by waiting inside the spider's own burrow until the spider returns, as an example of trust being strongly linked to someone staying in a borrowed pit hole—easily murdered for a wallet, or for meat.
Meanings of HUSBAND and GRAVE are intuitively obvious from these elements as「surrounded from above deliberately by repeated array of penis」being a great way of becoming infected, perhaps by one's husband (remember to see the original glyphs 度 and 㡯 as perhaps the source of the English expression,「caught between rock(s) and a hard place」[repeated incestuous rape and bondage crucifixion against a wall, respectively]).

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.
