Re: another question...
I don't know, someone who knows Arabic should answer this. The Arab names supplement of Hanks/Hodges only has SALAH (goodness, righteousness; in fact part of the name Saladdin, Salah al-Din) and SALIH (same root, similar meaning). So there seems to be no peace in these. About the pronunciation of the initial S I'm not sure, there is a little dot beneath it and the book doesn't say what this means (there are also names starting with Sh).Sorry, that's all I could find. In fact I don't know much about Aramaic either, I took a course 20 years ago and didn't pick up much then. But at least I can read it and understand a little because it's related to Hebrew.Andy ;—)
