I also just noticed that the first “t” could be the legs and the tail of the turtle, while the “l” are the front legs and the “e” is the head and mouth.
Meaning that the shell part would actually be “urt”.
More research is going to be needed to figure out this one.
You know what, I feel like the shell part of the turtle is best represented by the “turt” part of the world turtle. It just looks the way “turt” sounds.
So a turtle without it’s shell I think should start to be called a “le” (pronounced like in the world turtle), which represents very well, as a sound, a “turt”-less turtle
Just to make things more clear for people, this is about subcontractors, employed by what looks to be a local building company that is making a new factory for BYD EVs.
I think the article’s title really makes it look like BYD is the one withholding passports and wages, but actually they are not and inside the article they say BYD has already asked the subcontractor to improve working conditions before it became news, but they didn’t comply.
The article doesn’t specify how much BYD’s executives knew or if they had the ability to change things by their own choise.
