1. s'rad-dadHa:ti is still 'a verbal construction' in Skt., not a
single word
s'raddha': is a single word


2. s'rad-dadHa:ti is a verbal construction as that one proposed by
Jassanof (that I sustained too as origin of Germanic weak preterite),
that you have refuted 2 days ago => 'having no link with Germanic
weak preterite'


3. s'rad-dadHa:ti is quite the 'a Germanic weak preterire for plural
forms', isn't it? :)
nother 'Parallel Innovation'?
