What is the historical source for the post-position ने in Hindi and ने/नी in Marathi? I see some folks connect this directly with the instrumental ending -एन, as in फलेन. At least in Marathi, I noticed Jules Bloch saying this this -एन simply becomes एं, as in देवें केले in Old Marathi. But then what is the source of देवाने/देवांनी in Modern Marathi and ने in राम ने? Any suggestions?
