喜: time to rejoice

, rejoice:  As in a previous post:  ten bean cola makes the mouth rejoice.
, timber:  We can measure 寸 trees 木 for timber and rejoice in our profits.
, swelling:  The bean symbol 豆 is (per Henshall) related to a cookpot:  the square's the pot, it's got a stand, that kind of thing.  Let the at the top be the lid and handle.  What happens to your flesh ⺼ if you put yo' hairy 彡self on that cookpot?  Ouch!  Now it's going to swell up.
, drum:  Safer to put a stick in your hand 支 and bang on that cookpot as a drum.  Maybe rejoicing 喜 in our timber 樹profits rather than nursing a swollen 膨 hand.
