Queries (4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
asks
'queries' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for asks that I've seen before include "Enquires; requests" , "Makes an inquiry" , "Begs" , "Inquires (4)" , "Demands (something of someone)" .)
