request/petition Explanation: This is a formal word used to request/petition for (most often) funding from a controlling board. This is the spelling I've seen most often here in Uppsala, but yes it comes from 'äska' as spelled in SAOL. Think 'anhålla om' rather than 'begära'. The local university (founded in 1488!) uses it a lot. But when the local sports club asks for special municipal funding of a construction project, say, this term can be used. |
