Being humble
 
Hi,

What's the difference between おかりします and おかしします? I believe the latter means I'll humbly lend you ______.

And the former is the humble form for "borrow".

What's the difference? EVERYTHING! :D

おかりします I shall humbly borrow ~~ from you.

おかしします I shall humbly lend ~~ to you.

EDIT: The Old Man beat me to it.

To explicate,
借りる to borrow
貸す to loan

Humble: お＋verb in conjunctive form＋する
借りるー＞借りー＞お借りする
貸すー＞貸しー＞お貸しする
