ayyeti is ayye ti (ayye iti). ayye is the fem. voc. of ayya (s.v. PED)
meaning 'my lady'.

As far as I know, sajjhaaya.m is not a causative. The derivation is:
sa (own) + adhi (prefix) + i (root) + a (a primary affix). The PED has
"sajjhaaya.m karoti -- to study" under 'sajjhaaya'. To me, the 'sa'
(own) is suggestive of studying on one's own or self-study.
