How to chant it
ॐ साधुने नमः
oṃ sādhune namaḥ
om sadhune namah
In the stotra the name is chanted as it stands, sādhu, as part of Shloka 138. In the nāmāvalī, the form used for arcana(worship with an offering at each name), it is turned to the dative, the case of offering: “to her”. Then it is framed by oṃ before and namaḥ, “salutation”, after.

Vyākaraṇa
How the name is built
Counted as its own nāma in the standard enumeration, which reads six names in this verse; the dative sādhune is the masculine-neuter form, not the feminine sādhvyai that appears at nāma 126.
A single word rather than a compound.
