Paarfi says in an interview (or preface?) that he used phrases &
language that would or might have been in use at the time. Perhaps this
includes spelling.  Either that's the spelling that was used at the
time, and it did change (along with pronunciation), or he's using poetic
license to give it that flavor.

Paarfi aside, SKZB may have chosen these discrepencies as a way of
emphasizing the different "authors".
