I wouldn't rule out several of these forms showing up not only in the same area and time but even the same document! (Except for zuhrre, I've never seen that one.) Low German spelling (or rather, the lack thereof) sucks. There have been attempts to link phonetics to certain letter combinations, but these efforts have all been made within the last 50 years. They also tend to contradict each other.

Something that might amuse you: during the Third Reich, there were active attempts to extinguish northern Low German dialects, because it was assumed that the lack of phonetic order would damage children's brains if they grew up speaking Platt as native language!
