Yiddish is actually written in Hebrew letters, therefore, when used in English, words are transliterated, or spelled as they sound. Since Yiddish was spoken by Jews all over Europe, accents and inflections vary greatly. This leads to variations in transliterated spellings. For example, "ferklempt" is the same as "farklempt" is the same as "fehklampped," etc.
