The problem is PA Dutch never had a spelling oversight or authority of sorts. No websters dictionary. If you look up old books, newspapers, etc.. you will find the same words spelled at least five different ways. I say pick your favorite and go with it! 😂

Oh yes, this I've learned over the years. Even if you Google Saint Cecilia's fasnacht , people spell it different ways. I don't even remember how they spell it on their sign, been too many years.
