DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Is the PIE salt root written *sal- or *séh₂l-?
Both appear in the reviewed references at different representational resolutions. SET-U reuses *séh₂l- as the canonical dossier node and records *sal- as an alternative notation, not a second word.
Appendix 2, Proto-Indo-European salt itemSupplies *séh₂l- in the existing dossier tradition.

- SOUND
- Proto-Germanic *saltom belongs to the Indo-European salt family represented as *séh₂l- in the existing dossier and *sal- in other references.
- MEANING
- The material salt meaning remains stable; no payment sense exists at the reconstructed stage.

- SOUND
- No older form is promoted beyond the reconstructed salt family.
- MEANING
- The graph stops before speculation while preserving the real path shared with Latin sāl and salary.

GEOGRAPHIC AND TEMPORAL CLAIMS
JOURNEY STAGES THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Pontic–Caspian horizon
Frames Proto-Indo-European time depth as the dating of a hypothetical construct and surveys the unresolved homeland problem. It supports cautious temporal and geographic context, not a word-specific archaeological location.
Ch. 6 “A Place in Time,” pp. 86–105; Ch. 26 “Origins: The Never-Ending Story,” pp. 442–463 · approximateIndo-European prehistory
Lists the Proto-Indo-European salt item and its Latin reflex behind this stage. Exact stem notation varies among sources, so the route asserts a reconstructed salt family without inventing a location or date.
