Round here you have to worry about cat meat in kebabs. And I speak as a concerned pet owner.
Re: My new salix 14.0
Actually in greece, the word ''horse'' is called indeed ''άλογο'' meaning, analyzing the word in its ''ingrediens'', something that is without logic(άλογο = α- λόγος=χωρίς λόγο= without logic=something that makes no sence). The greek ancient word was indeed ''ίππος'' (you wrote it as ''hippos'' because in the ancient greek writing, the was a small mark symbol known as ''dasia'' (i write it's pronounciation in english), above the letter ''ι''. This is a repeated phenomenon that appears to all the greek ancient words that their first letter had that small sign and are used in the english language (eg HELLAS, while here in greece we're wtiting ΕΛΛΑΣ, ''hypothesis'' wlile you're writing ''υπόθεση'').
I can see from your notes, that the particular program is not in use at Salix 14.0. The question is why it was working at the previous edition, where i can assure you that it wasn't a ''dead horse'' at all and subsicuently i had no reasons to ''flog'' it.
Thanks anyway. Any other suggestions despite the use of ''Imtranslator''?

That's fascinating. In English, the mule (not the horse) is considered stupid. But surely all creatures are without reason, so why horses, particularly?
I actually thought the reason might be quite different, namely a confusion between "horse" (the animal) and "hoarse" (without voice). 'alogos' could also be 'without words'. How wrong can you be?
As you may have guessed, I know ancient Greek, not modern. What we call in English the "rough breathing" (curve to the left) was originally pronounced like an 'h', whereas the "smooth breathing" (curve to the right) was placed above other vowels at the beginning of a word. However, the 'h' sound probably disappeared around the time this notation was invented, just as it also disappeared in Latin (though the 'h' continued to be written).

Re: My new salix 14.0
Well...i'm glad hearing that you've tried to learn the ancient greek language. I'm telling that because i'm doing the same, i'm trying to learn it. The jurney is endless... As for the possibility you mentioned before, that ''alogos'' can mean without a word, speechless, i have to mention the close connection there is, in the ancient greek philosophy, between the meaning of the word ''logos'' and ''logic''. The first is or at least should be the result of the ''logical'' mental function. From my point of view i don't think that i have many possibilities to be wrong, but who knows...maybe there are some. As for the possibility of the ''without voice'' meaning, i must say that for that case, there is in greek language the most correct and suitable word '' άφωνος'' = aphonos= a-phonos= without voice (eg telephone= tele + phone= voice from long distance etc). You're very correct about your analysis of ''h''. I just focused to the function of it in relation to my language. The ''dasia'' symbol i've mentioned before had the function you said to your previous message.
Re: My new salix 14.0
You're definitely right about the word for horse - it's fascinating! I just thought the crazy nonsense theory I came up with was amusing (and only possible with very bad translation software *and typing*, not a plausible etymology at all). Totally off-topic of course, as well!
Re: My new salix 14.0
Yes, it is fascinating! I totally agree with you. The same is Linux. Both of them, linux and ancient greek language, have two common things from my point of view, a widly opened horizon and a true sence of freedom. As you've understood already i'm not an expert to linux and im not sure for the second, but for both of them, the journey is fascinating and endless...
