anoa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bank loan' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'indonesian resident's limitless' is the wordplay.
'indonesian' becomes 'ano' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'resident's' becomes 'tenant's' (tenant is a kind of resident).
'limitless' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'tenants' is 'a'.
'ano'+'a'='ANOA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anoa that I've seen before include "water-buffalo" , "Wild ox" .)
