Yes, that is my question.  I understand that both are probably fine,
but I'm asking whether we should use what appears on two widely-used
sites.  IOW, why prefer the version that doesn't appear there, if both
versions are equally correct?

> The omniglot website also describes other name for this script:

>  The Lepcha script is known as ᰀᰂ (kakha - the first two letters), ᰇᰨᰕᰧᰵᰶ (chomíng - "written
>  letters") or ᰕᰧᰵᰶᰙᰳ (míngzât - "treasure of letters"). 

Yes, but Wikipedia doesn't, so I think Róng-ríng wins here.
