>What does the "bancu" in "backemselrerkru" mean?

kind of looks like someone was trying to make a word
for "hyperbola" from what they thought was a word for
"parabola". i would rather use TE JUNTA plus KRUVI which
makes the gravity connection explicit. but TERJUNTYKRUBACRU
is sure a mouthful. what goes in a hyperbola besides comets,
anyway? better to borrow a word for that, & make its hyperboloid
orbit one of the places...
