Alphabets and vocabularies change. The shapes and pronunciation of letters change. New letters are invented and old ones abandoned. New words are coined while old words fall out of use. Slang becomes proper usage, while what once was proper becomes stilted and archaic.
Letters and words are just symbols. It's the meaning behind them that is important. Don't get so hung up on shadows that you forget the reality.
