saMdhi m. putting together, junction, connection; union or
intercourse with (instr.); compact, agreement, alliance, peace
between (gen.), with (instr. {ñsaha}); joint, commissure, suture,
fold; anything that joins or lies between, as dawn, dusk, twilight
(between day and night), wall (between two rooms), also interval,
pause, opening, hole, breach, gap; euphonic combination of words and
sentences (g.).
samAdhi m. putting together, conjunction, union, a whole;
performation, accomplishment, arrangement, reconcilement; attention,
meditation, devotion.
As we can see, the basic meaning of saMdhi (pronounce ~ sund-he)
and samaadhi is the same, 'putting together'. The difference
between these words is that samaadhi contains an additional
prefix, or in this case perhaps rather infix, namely aa.
The difference in the pronunciation of 'm' in these words is
due to, well, sandhi (sam + dhi; sam + aa + dhi)!
(Because in the word saMdhi 'dh' is a dental sound,
its dentality is anticipated, so to speak, in the pronunciation
of sam and this is why the 'm' in sam is changed, in
*pronunciation* - and in sloppy devanaagarii writing, too, I guess -
to dental nasal 'n'.)
According to Macdonell, as a verbal prefix aa reverses the
meaning of verbs of giving and going. Doesn't help very much,
does it? As a wild guess, perhaps the 'aa' in samaadhi implies,
that the putting together (yoga) happens from inside out, or
stuff... :0
