He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

I think suddhi is another term for purity or purification. Or maybe the 'vi' prefix changes purity to purification?

Which dictionary are you using?

I am using the pali lookup program developed by Aukana trust in the UK, it says it is based on Buddhadatta's concise english pai/ali english dicionary
easy program to use and it works which is always a plus, some of the progams I have tried to download just don't work?

Ayya (venerable lady; as in Ayya Mutta).

Ayya Mutta came of a rich Brahman family of Savatthi. When she was twenty years old, she went to Maha Pajapati Gotami and got ordination from her. She was practising kammatthana and she was instructed by the Buddha to get herself free from all bonds. Afterwards she became an Arahant.
