X ABL/INS/COM? ask "to ask X"
Potentially:
- Recipient↝Ancillary: compare X से कहना, X से बोलना
- Originator↝Source: compare X से लेना, as in a response is being elicited from X
Dr. Schneider (6/15/20):
cf. “I asked a question OF him”
Ultimately I think this is Recipient↝Ancillary because this lexically fits into the first class of information-exchange type verbs. The line between the two options I gave is blurrier than expected because of the elicitation of a response that is inherent. However, this supports Ancillary in a way because it means there is exchange rather than one-way transfer of information.
Recipient↝Source because the case is ablative and the object is the recipient of information, as evidenced by other Indo-Aryan languages studied by Khan (2009) in #2.
