    DefinitionShort: pertaining to not providing a reason or cause, in view of something being contrary to reason
    Glosses: ['unreasonable', 'without basis', 'absurd']
    Comments: In some languages the equivalent of being unreasonable is being something which people should not think. Note that ἄλογος[b] refers to that which is contrary to proper reasoning, while ἄλογος[a] ({D:30.12}) pertains to a lack of capacity to reason.
