loaning out

Lending out.

What's your point? "Loan" and "lend" are synonyms. It's true that in the late 19th century, using "loan" as a verb was frowned upon, but that's since been dismissed as Victorian fussiness.

Loan and lend are not synonyms. They are two different parts of speech. Loan is a noun. Lend is a verb. That is how the language works.
