SK is a TSR utility--notepad, calendar, calculator, dialer--I use
the small version that has only the notepad and calculator since
this Toshiba 3100 10 is old and limited--but faithful--uses less
memory.  Window pops up on pressing both shift keys.  You can
also copy stuff from and to the screen.  It's how I manage the
mail around here too, since the local line editor is a total
pain.  Copy the relevant portions of a post to a mail file (very
fast), respond, save the file, and upload it at the appropriate
moment into the message space of a post.

Sdump looks like something very similar.

Hathor. Ertha.  Mari.  Hera.  Astarte.  Cybele.  And so on... all different

It depends on whether you mean phonetic or phonemic aspiration.
Phonetically, both voiced and voiceless stops are aspirated all the
time by Americans, though voiced less than voiceless, of course.
I, personally, cannot produce unaspirated stops under any conditions.
But aspiration is only a distinctive feature for voiceless stops in
English.

Yes.  I was looking for info on the Sonority Hierarchy this AM, so I
happen to have a copy of Kenstowicz and Kisseberth's Generative
Phonology in front of me. p. 256: "The traditional analysis of aspira-
tion in a theory not appealing to the syllable says that voiceless
stops are aspirated when followed by a stressed vowel and not preceded
by s.  Such an analysis...fails to account for the fact that word-
initial voiceless stops are aspirated when followed by unstressed vowels
, as in Pacific, tomorrow, and collide."  They talk about the perception
of these consonants as reported by Kahn--he got native speakers of
French (which has no aspirated voiceless stops) to say what they heard.
(This part is particularly relevant to Tushar as being a Marathi
speaker, I think.)  The French speakers identified the initial t of
tomorrow with that of ten, not the t of stem.

Yes, no, yes (because s is the only consonant that can cluster w/ ptk),
and morphemes don't seem to matter.

The problem that you might be having is that you are hearing a lot
of nonphonemic, phonetic aspiration in what seems to you like it
should have no aspiration at all.  I run into this when I teach
Japanese:  voiceless stops in Japanese are aspirated, but only
about half as much as English.  How do you teach students to do
half as much aspiration?!  (Classes start Monday, do let me know!)

So there.  Never did find the Sonority Hierarchy!
