Undertsanding the different かける


You know the verb かける? It has so many meanings my mind can't comprehend them
all. Sometimes I feel unsure, so i'll look it up in the dictonary, however
when doing so I can't help but feel overhelmed by all the different meanings.
By the same word. Used for food when sparkling over salt or even recording
music. I feel like it could be anything. I got particularly interested in this
text where かける is being used quite a bit to explain word 乾坤一擲.

「乾」は「天」、「坤」は「地」、「乾坤」で「天地」の意味。
天地をかけて一回さいころを投げるという意味から、自分の運命をかけて、のるかそるかの勝負に出ることをいう。
韓愈の詩「鴻溝を過ぐ」の「竜疲れ虎困じて川原に割ち、億万の蒼生、性命を存す。
誰か君王に馬首を回らすを勧めて、真に一擲を成して乾坤を賭せん」から。([source](http://kotowaza-

  * 天地を **かけて** 一回さいころを投げる
  * 自分の運命を **かけて**

Both of these are using かける in the same way. I would say they both fit with
the meaning of 賭ける or possibly 懸ける.

賭ける and 懸ける both involve _risking the loss of something_. In the case of this
definition, risking the loss of 天地 (everything) and risking the loss of 運命
(one's fortunes).

There are basically 3 kinds of かける：

  1. To be **lacking something** 「欠ける」 

> お金が欠けている - (We are) lacking money

  2. To **run quickly** 「駆ける・翔ける」

> 駆け込み禁止 - Don't rush (into the train)

  3. To **lay something across/over something else** (and by extension , to risk loosing something)「掛ける・架ける（抽象的な意味では、賭ける・懸ける）」 

>     * 壁に掛ける - Hang (something) on the wall
>     * 橋を架ける - Make a bridge
>     * 命を賭ける - Bet (your) life
>     * 命を懸ける - Risk (your) life
