With the sentence, "Tvaŋ khippaŋ gantvā gharassa
lekhanaŋ āhareyyāsi?" (“Would you go immediately and bring the letter
to the house?”), I'm correct to have 'ghara' ('house') in the Dat.,
correct?
I considered Acc. as the goal of motion, but it seems
to not make any sense if it's in the Acc. I considered Loc., but it's
not 'house' that is supporting the action, but instead the recipient of
the action. Or would putting 'house' in the Loc. make it mean "bring the
letter in the house" ... ah! That would mean that the letter is located
inside the house, no?
How would one construct it in Pāḷi to say to
"bring the letter into the house" as distinct form "bring the letter to
the house"? I'm guessing that there is a preposition that would have to
be used?
The original sentence is 'me' instead of 'house,' but it
seemed easier to ponder the different cases with 'house' instead of
'me.' From Nārada, Lesson 12, Exercise B12.
