Orthography essentially the same, but people are lazy and don't always
put all the dots (vowel markings) in "accurately" or at all. Most
people reading the dictionary would be OK with the word even with two
identical marks on the Shin/Sin letter: there's only one possible way
to read the word anyhow.
