Yes! But what is true for "Ugaritic" is also true for "Akkadian" and,
of course, also for "Hurrian".

We see that Ugaritic scholars don’t know what slm means in
Ugaritic. They are guessing at a meaning of “staircase” based
primarily on Genesis 28: 12! And as is the penchant of scholars,
they quickly move on to metathesis and half-heartedly assert a
dubious Akkadian cognate on that questionable basis. To the best
of my knowledge, no mainstream scholar has guessed that slm might
mean “ladder” in Ugaritic since 1965.
