in the native idiom, means
a favor or a debt whose repayment
has been promised in the fluid,
unforeseeable future: today’s
material need secured through
mixed currency— one part faith
and the other desperation;
or some other bind only a god
might fathom, an interest
of stringent terms exceeding
the single instance of exchange.
