I can assume you I saw it, but I haven't got around to acting upon it.
James in Brithenig is Iago.  I could hypothesize a name like Cambuch but
I would have to research it more thoroughly.  At the same time as I'm
trying to work out a good translation for Mook Tiber.  Tifer for Tiber
is easy, but I need to think of a good sounding equivalent for Muke.

I'll come back to it when I've thought about it some more.
