> 丸尾君、ちょっと辞書かしてくんない？

I think it means "maruo, won't you lend me your dictionary?" But I'm really
confused about the verb ending on かす.

A look at some other posts suggests that it might expand to かしてくるのない. So I
would have 'come and lend' (previous sentence says that 丸尾 is sat in a chair,
so I suppose 'coming' would be appropriate).

Then I would be left with an 'explanatory の' followed by ない. I've never seen a
のない ending before, and I don't see how 'explanatory の' would be appropriate in
this context. Please help me to untangle all of this. Thanks

question
grammar colloquial-language contractions
What does てくんない ending on a verb mean?
This is an abbreviated form of 〜てくれない, meaning "to not do 〜 for me". So
貸してくれない means "won't lend me", but phrased as a question like this (likely
with a rising intonation) mean "Hey Maruo, won't you lend me your dictionary
for a bit?"
