「Swollen, erect, aroused pig」as the left element depicting「boar erection」with「stretched crotch skin, weapon.」Together meaning stubborn, pig-headed ENDURANCE, FORTITUDE, DIE HARD. Could also be a「pig with a hard-on for you」or「swelled schwantz of aroused boar」and once a wild boar has the urge to copulate, there is little that can stop him until he does the deed, often with any sort of accommodating orifice, or anything at all, actually. Boars are endowed with a corkscrew-shaped penis that locks into the cervix while copulating with a sow, increasing his RESOLVE, PERSISTENCE.
　Perhaps a horny hedgehog. See related glyph (緣). Porcupines and hedgehogs must ingest a large amount of salt to maintain their metabolism, hence to obtain salt, the animals are in fact quite bold and fearless (or, stupid), and will eat nearly anything that smells salty (feces are often quite salty) being uninhibited by nature.「Fearless and uninhibited, never quit.」

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.
