I prefer this version to "viola". I've seen it a few times and I always find it a bit funny if not unfortunate.

It's the simple past of violer (violate) at the 3sp, which can be used for the word rape. It's basically saying "violated" without he/she in front of it.

It’s also a stringed instrument, which always gives me a chuckle when I see that mistake

It's also a humble string instrument.
