Eelco,
it is pronounced "rib-ka" and it means "small fish". The "small" part is
achieved through the use of a term of endearment, the "ka" at the end of the
word; "ryba" = fish.
I'm glad that the author didn't call the program "rybonechka" :-)  ... yet
another term of endearment, as it were.

BTW,
Don't listen to the Russkies! They never learned how to speak proper Bulgarian
and would now have you brake your tongue while trying to pronounce a simple
word. :-)

Just say "rib-ka" and everyone will know what it means!

Regards,
Hristo
