Since Matthew mentioned MIA, I suppose I can share this presentation on clausal complements in Middle Indic, which also contains some observations on the use of iti in Sanskrit (and eṉ- and its cognates in Dravidian languages):

This is a talk I gave at Chicago in 2018. The work is still unpublished.

    V.S. Rajam’s book is an essential one for students of classical
    Tamil, covering syntax, meter, morphology, etc. What I meant is that
    to my knowledge no one has made a substantial study of every use of
    eṉ in Sangam literature. Such a study might include uses of iti in
    early Sanskrit. For example, in modern Tamil we often find ēṉ eṉṟāl,
    “If you ask why,” which corresponds exactly to Sanskrit "kuta iti
    cet.” One wonders how old this usage is in both languages. George

            necessarily true that its presence in early Sanskrit is due
            to Dravidian, though I think it is highly likely, given its
            richness in Dravidian languages. George Hart____

                I do not know if the question was about /iti/as an areal
                phenomenon. If so, see F.B.J. Kuiper, "The Genesis of a
                Linguistic Area", IIJ 1968, where, if I remember well,
                he compares Skt/iti/ with Tamil/eṉṟu/.____

                If I remember correctly, the possibility of the "iti"
                constructions being an areal phenomena have been
                discussed  for many decades. The best person to provide
                information regarding this topic may be Hans Hock. I
                will see if I can locate any of these older
                publications.____
