Question
In any of the ten styles of recitation, is the word Rabbi (my Lord), pronounced differently than Rab-ee.  For instance, someone recites it Rab-ay, when the Rab is not connected to any letter.  For instance he would read it as "Rab-ay zidni 'ilma" and Rabbe-ghfir war Ham wa anta khayr...."
I hope this is clear.  Would really appreciate a clarification on whether any of the Ten styles of recitation permits it being read as "Rab-ay".

Answer
There is no difference among the different qira'aat in the pronunciation in the examples given, but having said that, we need to point out a few things.
The word appears two different ways in various places in the Qu'ran.  One with the ya'  denoting "My" written and pronounced, and another with the ya' dropped. 
When there is a dua' in the Qur'an and we are either told to beseech Allah or we are being told about someone beseeching Allah in a dua', the ya' is dropped.  For example in TaHa 114: ; here there is no ya' on the end of the word rabb because it is a dua'.   Whereas when someone is referring to his lord (rabb), saying "my Lord"  without beseeching, there is usually a ya' as in:
In the first example above without the ya' on we do not pronounce the ya' and instead have just a kasrah with no elongation.  When pronouncing the word in the second example above, we have a two count lengthening as long as there is no hamzah or no sukoon after the word.  I
f there is a hamzah after the word there are some of the qir'aat which lengthen it two or four or six vowel counts, and others who put a fathah on it.
