<div>Send this question to your dikduk buddies:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Pronunciation of Kudsha (brich hu)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ArtScroll spells it with a kubutz under the kuf and without a dagesh in the dalet. That makes the shva into a nach and the pronunciation would be kud-sha</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Some other siddurim spell it with a shuruk between the kuf and the dalet making the shva into a na and pronunciation would be kude-sha.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Try singing Yisroel veOraisa veKud(e)sha Brich Hu chad hu and see which one works better.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, any insights into which spelling is correct.</div>
