Hunquapiller is a combination word coming from two Latin words and a French word: Hun qua piller.
"Hun" is a deconstructed spelling of the late Latin "Hunn," referring to a group of nomads who invaded Europe in the 3rd and 4th centuries; they caused the Romans a certain bit of difficulty and were defeated in 455. "Qua" is Latin for "as." "Piller" is a French verb meaning "to plunder" or "to pillage." So, "Hunquapiller" could be interpreted as "to pillageas (or like) a Hun." IMHO this is an indication of Rivendell's new direction in bikes, squarely aimed at competition riders looking to lay waste to their opposition elegantly- triumphing on the field of battle with lugged steel! Look for the Hunquapiller under an as-yet undisclosed professional cycling team in 2010. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
