Comment: << review queue entry 34071 - submitted by 'vermillon' >>
it's already the classifier of 馬 but I was really surprised to see it's the classifier
of 馬力.

Editor: it's not : 1马力=735瓦. Unit names do not take classifiers.
However people do say 1000匹馬力, and the word has taken a life of its own. An article on Baidu is titled "匹馬力", so it's seen as a word.
Diff:
# - 馬力 马力 [ma3 li4] /horsepower/
# + 馬力 马力 [ma3 li4] /horsepower/CL:匹[pi3]/
+ 匹馬力 匹马力 [pi3 ma3 li4] /horsepower/
