Where did you get the original 'example' of 沌 / 屯 from? Most people prefer to use examples that they have some kind of personal knowledge of.
> There are other meanings to it. [沌]
Not as many as you might expect. It's (part of) a mythological term referring to the state of the universe before it took the form we can observe today. It has a couple of other metaphorical meanings coming from that, or from traditional sayings related to that.
I see that wiktionary lists 沌がる as an alternate spelling of 塞がる "be blocked" [塞 - obstruct / block / plug], which looks like the closest thing we're likely to find to your earlier claim. Obvious problems using this to support your comment are:
- There's still no "gathering" or "accumulating" sense. (Nor is there an "obstruct" sense of 屯.)
- This is a meaning assigned long after the character came into existence, which means it cannot have informed the construction of the character.
