Meanings of elements

PERSON SHAFTING SOIL WITH STAKE and WEALTH, FLESHPOT
…or: REPLACEMENT FLESHPOT
…or: SUBSTITUTE WEALTH
…or: WEALTH with FEES

Being in the vulnerable position of needed to borrow means that the lender is in the position of「person shafting stake in soil for wealth, eyeing goal of emissions, a fleshpot」by charging exorbitant rent, interest, or other terms. Someone who has lent an asset or funds to another is in a similar position, since the borrower may destroy, lose or run away with the lender's asset without returning or repaying anything at all.
Also the obvious「replacement fleshpot」as a short-term RENTAL, LEASE, LOAN, TEMPORARY USE AFTER PAYING THE APPROPRIATE FEE, a replacement for one's legal wife, palm, household member, servant, buddy, hand palm, ewe, and so on.
「Replacement of fleshpot」contents perhaps as a friend indeed helping out a friend in need who needs a quick nourishing meal, both parties knowing full well that the favor may one day be returned. Conveying the idea of「replacement or represented, substituted」as「wealth」(and not one's own true wealth) due to a corresponding debt to return the items or funds. Or the obligation to return money or an item as in RENT TO, LEASE TO, LOAN TO, LEND TO. Note the similarity with「liability, blame, responsibility」that contains the element「thorn, prick, painful condition」for both parties, and this glyph contains a「person with a lance, person with a dog」perhaps as a threat needed to assure or collect repayment, but clearly threatening in a case of not returning the BORROWED fleshpot or wealth. As「replacement fleshpot」to LEND, LOANED to a friendly tribe after some accident caused their communal pot to crack, perhaps by binding someone with knotted ropes that were tightened excessively due to anticipation and pent-up excitement, or placing too much body weight or thrusting power on one side, as may occur during some types of dream fulfillment therapy, or just preparing supper.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: to lend on interest; to borrow; a loan; leniency; to make excuses; to pardon; to forgive
Japanese EDRDG: lend
Unihan extended: lend; borrow; pardon

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. 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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they 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 lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
