Clybru or Clybur, one and the same? A question for Steve.

Please forgive this re-posting, due to the problems Steve's been having 
with his email, I thought I'd send this out again in the event it got 
deleted before he could see it.

In researching character names for the Dramatis Personae page on the Lyorn 
Records Wiki, I've come across what I suspect may be a typo.

The name "Clybru" is used by Pel in TPG (page 162, paperback) to name the 
chief of Mathemeticians:

"You reason like Clybru, the chief of Mathemeticians"

The name "Clybur" is used by Sethra Lavode in a conversation with Tazendra 
in /Paths of the Dead/ (page 195, paperback):

"My dear Dzurlord, you reason like Clybur himself, only--"

Since the chief of Mathemeticians will likely be a person who reasons 
rather well, and due to the fact that these two names are different only 
due to the transposition of a single letter pair, and the name is used in 
exactly the same way in both instances, I theorize that they may be 
referring, in fact, to the same individual, and that one of these 
instances may simply be a typo.

My question, then, is twofold. Are these two references to the same 
individual, and, if so, which of these, if either, is the correct 
spelling?
