I am assuming the transition from paleo script to Aramaic Square script
occurred throughout the 5th century BCE, not overnight. You are right. There
were a number of scribal mistranscriptions, and even when the scrolls were
written in Aramaic script, particularly respected books were written in
paleoscript and the Shem haMeforash in square scripts texts were written in
paleo. That is why I created the True Type fonts for most of the paleo
scripts as well as Herodian fonts so scholars can use them in manuscripts they
typed in Word.

Subject: Re: [b-hebrew]Psalm 22:17 from Naḥal Ḥever: several
issues Paleo script because, according to text-critical scholars such as
Emanuel Tov and others, some textual variants likely arose due to scribes
mistaking one letter for another. In paleo script, several Hebrew letters are
very similar, for example resh and dalet.
