Interestingly, we have just seen the spelling "powder / bulver". I think it is rather exceptional that the same person changes. Even though I see it again and again from different people.
To Google:
You have to understand what's happening. Google works with 4 dictionaries and 6.5 million comparison sentences.
These come from the manuscript scanner of the various books and can be found in Googlebooks. These are from different times and regions. They may not be 100% reliable, but they are a good indication. I would be more interested in where Google found it, so one could draw more of a conclusion about the origin.
I don't claim that everything is Latin, but Latin is similar.
Perhaps "ust" is a form of "usti" ad ust = to dry.
So the application p/b, t/d, s/z, i/y, v/f is applicable, I just may not jump from one to the other as it suits me. Even though I have already seen it.
