Whoa! Hold your סוסים!

Um, that's pretty way off the mark. The shin is not an affix, but part of the root. Also, הלך ends with a
kaph (כ), not a heth (ח). The two are very different letters and should not be confused. There is nothing here to suggest that שׁלח has anything to do with הלך. Yes, there is a Shaphel stem with causative
shin prefix in some Semitic dialects, but that is certainly not what we have in the root שׁלח.
