Well, FWIW, I don't believe anybody can pronounce 'siddhi' unless they pronounce it as two separate syllables (sid-dhi). IMO, the spelling is like 'siddhi' mainly to indicate that that word is (internal) sandhi for 'sidh' + 'ti' [sic!], morphologically related to, I think, 'smR-ti' ------------------------ Yahoo!
