FWIW, I usuallly hear the Yiddish pronounced "Zeligk" and by the more
Polisher and Galicianisher, "Zeiligk". (These are the same people who
make a berakhah to the "MEI-lekh ha'olam"...)

I thought it was a similar phonology pattern to "bundt" -- using the
voice for only the first part of a plosive sound.

Gotta admit, not too interested in the German original, unless the
discussion was about a /Yekke/ who was looking for the appropriate pasuq
for his name.

Tir'u baTov!
