Lots of ways to spell Yiddish words in English, since they're based on the sounds of the Hebrew alphabet. Same with any English transliterations from languages that use a different alphabet--Arabic, Chinese, Sanskrit, etc. You'll see "ferblonjet," "ferblonget," "ferblonzhet," for example; and "schmeggegy," "shmegegy," "shmegeggy," and so on.
