Sal mean ‘to have the name salvator on one's lips, and nothing more,’ an equally improbable explanation.   ,, ‘salve,’ from the  salbe,  salba, ; a common  term;   salƀa,  zalf,  sealf,  salve ( *salba, , may be inferred from salbôn, ‘to anoint’). The salbô-, from pre- solpã-, is entirely unrelated to  ἀλείφω;  ἕλπος, ‘oil,’ ἔλφος, ‘butter,’ ὄλπη, ‘oil-flask,’  sarpís,, ‘grease,’ are more probably allied to.   ,, ‘sage,’ from salbeie, salveie,  salbeia, salveia, , from  salvegia, a variant of  and  salvia ( sauge, whence  sage).   ,, ‘register of the survey of lands,’ from sal-buoch, , ‘register of lands belonging to the community, a record of receipts and donations,’ from  sal, , ‘legal assignment of an estate,’ which, with  sal, , ‘legacy,’ is connected with  sęllen,  sęllan, ‘to surrender.’ The corresponding  verb to sell has acquired a different shade of meaning.   ', ',, ‘salmon,’ from salme,  salmo, , from the   salmo.   ,, ‘sallow, round-leaved willow’; allied to salhe, ,  salaha ( *salhô), , ‘willow’; the second part of the  compound serves as. an explanation of the old term, which is undoubtedly of genuine origin;   selja,  ( *salhjô), and  sealh,  sallow. Primit. allied to ἑλίκῇ (Arcad.),  sălix ( salicem), ‘willow’;  saule is based not on the, but on the  word.   ,, ‘salt,’ from the  and  salz, ; corresponding to the   salt,  sealt, ,  salt,  zout,  salt (also an   saltr,  sealt, ‘salty, saline’). The specifically form sal-ta- (whence  saltte) is of course related to  sal,  ἅλς;  further  solĭ,  sâls,  salann, ‘salt.’ The lengthened pre- root sald appears also in  sallere, ‘to salt,’ with the assimilation of ld to ll; in  the corresponding  saldùs has the remarkable signification ‘sweet’ ( druskà, ‘salt,’ is connected with  druska, ‘crumb.’ Among the Eastern Aryans a cognate term is wanting, the word salt,  curiously enough, not being intentioned in the Rig-Veda. Perhaps the Western Aryans, in their migration, got their knowledge of the mineral from a civilised tribe that has also exercised an influence on European languages in other instances . That a graded form could be constructed from even a foreign term admits of no doubt (see ). Perhaps the divergence between  salta- and   sal- is due to differences anterior to the period in which the word was borrowed.   , see. <section end="-sam" /> <section begin="Same" /> ,, ‘seed, semen, spawn,’ from sâme,  and  sâmo, , ‘grain of seed, seed, descendants, field, soil’; a derivative of the root sê, ‘to sow,’ contained in  and. Corresponding to sêmen,  sěmę, ‘seed,’  sėmů, ‘seed’; an Aryan  sê-mn-, with a suffix men, is implied; the same suffix appears in  and. A different derivation is indicated by síl and  sėklà, ‘seed’ ( form sêtla}. <section end="Same" /> <section begin="Sämischleder" /> ',,  only, corresponding to the   chamois leather (also shammy),  peaux chamoisees; of obscure origin, perhaps from  zamša, ‘wash-leather.’ <section end="Sämischleder" /> ', , ‘to collect, gather,’ from the   samelen,  with a n- suffix, samenen,  samanôn; corresponding to  samnôn,  zamelen,  samnian,  samna, ‘to collect’; a derivative of the   saman. Primit. allied to  samanâ, ‘together.’ See  and . <section begin="Samstag" /> , , ‘Saturday,’  a  and  word (in  and  ), from  samȥtac, sampstac,  sambaȥtac. In  zaterday,  sâterdach,  sœternesdœg,  Saturday, which, like the   dia sathairnn and  šëtúne, are based on  Saturni dies, unknown to ; in  laugardagr, þváttdagr ( ‘bathing day’). From the  sabbati dies (whence  samedi,  sabbato,  dissapte, and  sapait),  sambaȥ-tac,   cannot be derived, for such a derivation does not explain the  nasal; nor can the t of an   word be changed to ȥ. Since sąbota, Magy. szombat, and Rouman. sămbătă are the most closely allied to sambaȥ-, we may perhaps assume that it is of Eastern origin, which supposition is supported by<section end="Samstag" />
