They could bear that interpretation. However the correct interpretation is that they are seperate tribes, at least according to Drastic Prax.

	Despite its common name, there are actually four distinct
	"subtribes" within the Pol Joni.  Three Pol Joni clans are
	known, and they were the first people to enter Prax.  There
	are two Amber clans, an Ansil clan, and a Potor clan each
	with their own story.  None of these later groups claims
	any relation to the Pol Joni, but outsiders (including most
	Sartarites) group them all as part of a single tribe.
