Here is a tricky issue. The word ‘curious’ implies that it is not an open-shut case of computation. There is something still not revealed about it.
However ‘usury’ is not a curious factor. It’s straight exorbitant charging, in which no computation is involved. That is the veiled difference I had in mind when put in the word ‘usury’.
‘Reckoning’ is defined as computation. Arithmetic also involves computation.
I would say curious ‘arithmetic’ is more synonymous with curious ‘reckoning’ than with curious ‘usury’.
The choice would be reckoning and arithmetic IMO
All the same, usury is very tempting.
