Though his is not so clear from the Gemora, as there are no nekudos.
I seem to recall reading from Rav Shternbuch in one of his sforim, that the
rebbe taught him zecher, which could mean "the zochor of", in the same way as
eshen means 'oshon of', in parshas yisro.
The rebbes mistake was therefore zecher instead of zeicher.
