But for this we need no "Ugaritic", no "Akkadian", and no "Hurrian", only Hebrew.

I see in A. Salmone's Arabic - English dictionary, on page 369 for the root سلم SLM, 'steps, ladder, stairs, sound, whole, entire, intact, healthy, peace, wholesomeness', and more. As in Hebrew.

where the authors bring ample semitic (syriac, amharic etc) evidence for david's SL* complex and the (NW) semitic use of SLM/SLLM=ladder, including:

               SLM (ugarit.) = ladder, SULLAM (arabic) = ladder.

if i understand correctly, the ugarit cognate may point at a time frame
earlier than the hurrian conquest of canaan and the patriarch era.
