Could you elaborate on your tack on this? I think it is a very  
interesting fine-point. M-W definitions below for ref.:

advaya
mfn. not two without a second , only , unique m. N. of a Buddha ; (% 
{am}) n. non-duality , unity ; identity (especially the identity of  
Brahma , with the human soul or with the universe , or of spirit and  
matter) ; the ultimate truth.

advaita
mfn. destitute of duality , having no duplicate S3Br. xiv , &c. ;  
peerless ; sole , unique ; epithet of Vishn2u ; (%{am}) n. non- 
duality ; identity of Brahma1 or of the Parama1tman or supreme soul  
with the Jiva1tman or human soul ; identity of spirit and matter ;  
the ultimate truth ; title of an Upanishad ; (%{ena}) ind. solely.

Sincerely,

Steve Feite
