The History and Development of Yiddish
Harkavy's Yiddish-English

Since the Yiddish word is being transliterated using the English alphabet, it's a "best guess" process anyway.  I assume phonetically based, instead of a strict Hebrew character to English character mapping. Thus, your spelling is as "proper" as other variations of spelling that a person may come up with.
