An interesting find, but how could the name not be "spelled differently" when one is written in Hebrew and the other in Akkadian?

Listers, here’s an interesting story from today’s issue of the
Daily Telegraph in the UK. It suggests that a recent archaeological
discovery from 2,500 years ago may substantiate the existence of a minor
character mentioned in the Hebrew text of Jeremiah 39. But the spelling of
the name in the recently-discovered inscription is slightly different from
the name as it appears in the MT. Interesting report, nonetheless. Regards
to all.
