http://vatoto.com/reader#d14b4aacb9732d10_6http://vatoto.com/reader#df0308c31974cedd_18 I first thought it was a typo, but then I encountered this made up sounding word a second time. I did find this word on dictionary.com. but none of its definitions there fit within context of where it is being used in this comic.

 

Also "et tu brute" was said here, what does that mean?

She's skipping her maid duties by talking to Subaru, it's not too hard to understand?

 

"Et tu brute" were the last words of Caesar before dying to his 'friend' Marcus Brutus. Maybe Subaru feels he is being betrayed by Puck since he was supportive of their relationship but then he tells Subaru he won't give Emilia to him.

I know it's been a while, but I feel I must add a few things about Et tu, brute: that is the version that was immortalised in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, but going from what Roman historian Suetonius wrote in Vita Divi Iulii, he actually told him in Greek "καὶ σὺ τέκνον;", "You too, my child?"  This is ocasionally verted into Latin as tu quoqui, fili?, which readers of Asterix might be familiar with.
