Probe in Delhi, have heard high might fall (5)
I believe the answer is:
delve
This clue could be a double definition.
'probe in delhi' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'heard high might fall' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'have' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for delve that I've seen before include "Reach down and search" , "Intensively research (into something)" , "Dig - investigate" , "Dig up - search" , "Make painstaking enquiries (into something)" .)
