It is the variant of
סלם, צלם, שלם, תלם
SLM, CLM, $LM, TLM, 'tall and massive'.
From this root are the words SULAM, 'ladder?', CELEM, 'form, body',
$ALOM, 'wholesomeness, soundness', and TELEM, 'ridge, farrow'. See
Ps. 65:11(10).
All we may say about SULAM is that it is a lofty and massive
structure or contraption (ladder, staircase, ramp, basket elevator
––– the bible unfortunately lacks illustrations) by which to
convey vertically.
