Meanings of elements
PRAISEWORTHY FOOD, GOOD EATING
…or: HUMAN ERROR but SUFFICIENT FOR MARKETABILITY AS FOOD
…or: CORRECT PERFORMANCE of ERECT HEAD TAUT CHEWING
…or: SHEEP and GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT
…or: INGESTING PRICK EMISSIONS
「Praiseworthy eating, proper food」as NOURISHMENT, to REAR CHILDREN, and to RAISE ANIMALS sufficient for marketability, capable of being sold profitably.「Correct performance with head taut and good enough, ready for use」as CULTIVATE, FOSTER and PROVIDE SUPPORT for proper, correct GROWTH DEVELOPMENT.「Correct performance」「emitted」that is「sufficient, good enough food」or「eating prick emissions」as a ready source of the growth steroid testosterone and other hormones will help develop strong musculature and mind power in developing young bodies, as described in more detail here and with other glyphs:「The possibilities of testosterone therapy are enticing—increase your muscle mass, sharpen your memory and concentration, boost your libido, and improve your energy level. …Testosterone helps maintain…bone density, fat distribution, muscle strength and mass, red blood cell production, sex drive, sperm production…」

 「…study has suggested that semen acts as an antidepressant in women, so that women physically exposed to semen are less likely to suffer from depression. It is thought that the psychological effects of semen are a result of its complex chemical make-up including several mood-altering hormones (testosterone, oestrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin and several different prostaglandins). In a scientific survey of 293 college women it was also found that those who did not use condoms were most likely to initiate sex and to seek out new partners as soon as a relationship ended, suggesting that the chemical dependency to semen creates a 'rebound effect.' The effect of semen on a male sexual partner (as the receiver of semen) is not known.」

 Some traditional fonts display「sheep emitted with chewing (emphasis marker)」that might refer to raising both plants for the sheep and the animals for humans. No matter how the elements are interpreted, all animals including sheep continuously need nutritious fodder to become healthy and large. Raising both plants and animals properly for praiseworthy results.
 Alternatively, on a somewhat darker side that also combines early human activities with both concepts of raising food and children as PRAISEWORTHY EATS (or「human error with taut chewing」):「We know that human sacrifice and cannibalism were widely practiced in pre-literate societies and that they were not local but universal cultural phenomena. …[T]he ancient Chinese also participated in this culture, which has much in common with the [Journal of Generative Anthropology] position about the violent origin and early development of human civilization…」

 Perhaps it is merely a coincidence that「sheep good enough to eat」in this glyph and「female sheep, younger sister」() both refer to the nurturing of young organisms…
 「Human cannibals likely took a big bite out of their fellow humans about 10,000 years ago, according to a study that examined prehistoric bones with scratch and bite marks on them. …In the end, they discovered 30 bones belonging to three individuals: a robust adult, a gracile adult and an infant. However, the infant had only one complete bone (a shoulder blade, or scapula) that did not show signs of cannibalism, the researchers said. …But the practice goes way back: there's even evidence of Neanderthal cannibalism in Belgium and Spain from more than 40,000 years ago, when they went extinct, Live Science previously reported.」

Used within names (nanori)

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.
