Meanings of elements
THREADS OF DIFFERENT COLORS STREAMING FROM A POLE, TO FLAG A PROBLEM, TO CEASE, TO DESIST FROM, DO THIS NO MORE, TO RAISE A RED FLAG with SUPPORT FROM BENEATH
…or: PERSON, YOU THAT WAY, DIRECTION, SIDE, METHOD OF DOING SOMETHING and PROSTRATE, HEAD REAMING with THAT IS MINE, OURS
…or: METHOD OF PERSON and PROSTRATE in DIVINE COFFIN
If the elements are interpreted as a mother「scorpion prone that is mine」then the same functions as those of a FLAG can be ascribed to the mother's tail, held vertically as a marker for her scorplings to use for bearings after playtime has ended, and may well be the inspiration of both this glyph and the use of FLAGS in a battle that were inserted into the backside of the pants of foot soldiers:「side, direction, people, pissant, scorpion」with「prone」and「that is mine」describes the lord's FLAG. The first flags were cloths stuck on the end of a pointed, sharp lance, a weapon much like a scorpion's barbed tail tip. Flags were not shaped as a banner of today with the longest dimension being horizontal, fluttering in the wind, so it is unlikely that the upper right element is anything but「prone.」As such, a「pissant」foot soldier「prone that is ours」would be identified as a fallen soldier from our side by the flag attached to his backside. The element「prone」(「head」with「horizontal」) is often explained by scholars to depict a banner, yet ancient banners (the flags) in China and Japan were of a long, vertical shape and not horizontal, attached in five or so places to a pole affixed to a foot soldier's backside and were formerly used as markers to aid in the identification of a soldier as an enemy or friend…European armies wore brightly colored uniforms for the same reason, enabling the commanders to see troop movements from afar—unfortunately, this also provided the enemy artillery and sharpshooters with outstanding targets.

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: flag; banner; (in Qing times) refers to Manchurian ruling class, from 八旗 eight banners; administrative subdivision in inner Mongolia equivalent to 縣|县 county
Japanese: flag
Unihan extended: banner, flag, streamer
EDRDG: national flag; banner; standard

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.
