Eight similar symbols means nothing.
Maybe it was plagiarized, maybe it wasn't, but if you consider that "a" looks like a vowel, "o" looks like a vowel, "r" looks like an "r" and several other letters look like Latin letters, anyone who does translations based on something similar to the Latin shape-mates is going to overlap in terms of their transliteration.
Personally, I don't think it matters in this case. I don't believe either Hoffman's or Cheshire's interpretations have any validity. Neither one is grammatical, and both require a very high degree of interpretation. They are "one-person" subjective solutions. They can't be replicated by other people.
