3. Perhaps
loaned? Depends, I guess on how close you are to the one who borrowed from you. ;)

6. It's either "lent" or "loaned"
Lent is the past tense of "to lend."

Loaned is the past tense of "to loan."

Lended isn't a word, as far as I know.

See: http://www.dailywritingtips.com/loan-lend-loaned-lent/

7. Thanks!
I'll have to forward that link to myself (at home) since I like to write.

Of course, you know this is all just another play/copycat on the "Lent" thread, right? ;)

10. I'm not in that (or any religion)
so I have no idea what it means anyway ;)

But it does 'lend' itself to copycats :P
