stipend, salary
俸 centers on regular payment for service: a stipend or salary, especially in a formal or official context.
俸 combines 亻 (person) with 奉, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of offering or presenting, suggesting a person receiving an offering in the form of a salary.
A person 亻 receives an offering 奉: that offering is their regular salary or stipend.
For ホウ, imagine a person receiving their salary in a formal ceremony, and the official calls out 'Hō!' as they present the stipend: Hō -> ホウ.
