Re: A Series Lingo Its another Language I tell ya! Reniflaud is the 'oil filler' inside is a valve (or the remains of) that lets air out of the crankcase but not back in to maintain negative pressure in the crank case.
Frotterus and batteurs are part of the suspension set up on older cars. Batteurs are like red cans inboard of the kingpin housing, they contain magic bouncing things that give 60s cars a positively orgasmic ride.
Frotteur is french for 'rubbing' (DONT google that) and were fitted inside the front axel I believe. I dont have them and dont really understand them.
Next you should learn:

Re: A Series Lingo Its another Language I tell ya! Vent Flap is also the word for a rather clever device which is somehow able to be air tight at the same time as letting vast quantities of water through onto your knees. See also: windscreen wiper spindles.

Re: A Series Lingo Its another Language I tell ya! main thing to remember with A seriese, and their engines in particular, is that many seem to think that the common processes and practices that go on in a normal 4 cycle internal combustion engine do not apply to a 2cylinder aircooled engine. Such things a timing, tappets carburation, exhaust. Chassis flex and Tyres cause no end of heated debate.

I mostly call it sludge...
