From which language do we get the word “Slalom”?
"Slalom skiing Slalom is an alpine skiing and alpine snowboarding discipline, involving skiing between poles or gates. These are spaced more closely than those in giant slalom, super giant slalom and downhill, necessitating quicker and shorter turns. Internationally, the sport is contested at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, and at the Olympic Winter Games. The term may also refer to waterskiing on one ski. The word ""slalom"" is from the Morgedal/Seljord dialect of Norwegian slalåm: ""sla,"" meaning slightly inclining hillside, and ""låm,"" meaning track after skis. The inventors of modern skiing classified their trails according to their difficulty. ""Slalåm"""
"Shalom Shalom ( ""shalom""; also spelled as ""sholom"", ""sholem"", ""sholoim"", ""shulem"") is a Hebrew word meaning ""peace"", ""harmony"", ""wholeness"", ""completeness"", ""prosperity"", ""welfare"" and ""tranquility"" and can be used idiomatically to mean both ""hello"" and ""goodbye"". As it does in English, it can refer to either peace between two entities (especially between man and God or between two countries), or to the well-being, welfare or safety of an individual or a group of individuals. The word shalom is also found in many other expressions and names. Its equivalent cognate in Arabic is ""salaam"", ""sliem"" in Maltese, Shlama in Syriac-Assyrian and ""sälam"""
"Š-L-M Shin-Lamedh-Mem is the triconsonantal root of many Semitic words, and many of those words are used as names. The root meaning translates to ""whole, safe, intact, unharmed, to go free, without blemish"". Its earliest known form is in the name of Shalim, the ancient god of dusk of Ugarit. Derived from this are meanings of ""to be safe, secure, at peace"", hence ""well-being, health"" and passively ""to be secured, pacified, submitted"". Arabic """" (), Maltese ""sliem"", Hebrew Shalom (), Ge'ez ""sälam"" (ሰላም), Syriac ""šlama"" (pronounced Shlama, or Shlomo in the Western Syriac dialect) () are cognate Semitic terms for"

The most popular theory in Malaysia is that it derives from ""sekilat"" meaning ""as (fast as) lightning."" Other theories derive silat from the Sanskrit ""sīla"" meaning morality or principle, or the Southern Chinese ""saula"" which means to push or perform with the hands. The Sanskrit theory is particularly popular in Thailand, as ""sila"" is an alternate form of the word silat in that country. Other similar-sounding words have been proposed, but are generally not considered by etymologists. One example is ""si elat"" which means"
"(Latin). The concept of peace is important in Christianity. Biblically, ""shalom"" is seen in reference to the well-being of others (Genesis 43:27, Exodus 4:18), to treaties (I Kings 5:12), and in prayer for the wellbeing of cities or nations (Psalm 122:6, Jeremiah 29:7). The meaning of completeness, central to the term ""shalom"", can also be confirmed in related terms found in other Semitic languages. The Assyrian term ""salamu"" means to be complete, unharmed, paid/atoned. ""Sulmu"", another Assyrian term, means welfare. A closer relation to the idea of ""shalom"" as concept and action is seen in the Arabic root ""salaam"", meaning"

Although 'peace' is the usual translation, however, it is an incomplete one, because 'shalom,' which is also cognate with the Arabic ""salaam"", has multiple other meanings in addition to peace, including justice, good health, safety, well-being, prosperity, equity, security, good fortune, and friendliness, as well as simply the greetings, ""hello"" and"

He suggests that the name ""Eelam"" came from the Dravidian word ""Eelam"" (or Cilam) meaning ""toddy"", referring to the palm trees in Sri Lanka, and later absorbed into Indo-Aryan languages. This, he says, is also likely to have been the source for the Pali '""Sihala""."
