[xi-] Xena is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where she is stacking 艮 silver bars on the tile floor. There are 阝 hills of them, and Xena goes to the very top of one and puts a single 艮 silver bar, wedging it between the top of the 阝 hill and the ceiling, and using the butt end of her sword to jam it in. The hill has reached its 限 limit in terms of height, clearly.
