distribute, spouse, exile, rationing
配 centers on dividing something among recipients: handing out, rationing, or assigning. The spouse and exile senses are specific applications of this idea—a spouse is a partner assigned by marriage, and exile is being sent away to a distant place.
配 combines 酉 (a wine vessel) with 己 (a kneeling person), suggesting a person distributing wine. This likely gave rise to the core idea of apportioning or handing out.
The left side 酉 is a wine jar, and the right side 己 looks like a person kneeling. Imagine a person kneeling beside a wine jar, carefully distributing cups of wine to everyone.
For ハイ, picture a person distributing high-quality wine from the jar: high -> ハイ, and everyone gets a share.
