There's an additional use of the word in paq'batlh (paq'raD, Canto 22, Stan=
za 2 & 5):
QIStaq 'emDaq jenchoH jul
yor DungDaq Salta'DI'
tagh HarghchuqmeH poH
The sun rises high behind the Kri'stak,
When it rises over its top,
It is time to do battle.
Notice that both {Sal} and {jenchoH} are used to communicate similar ideas.
Also, the suffix -{ta'} in {Salta'DI'} is interesting. It could be an error=
, but it could also be a cultural oddity, or a piece of artistic license.
{Sal} would appear to behave similarly to {toS}:
raSDaq toS qeylIS
> Kahless climbs onto the table
tu=92taHmeH chalqach toS
> He climbs a watch tower
=91Iw bIQtIqvo=92
toS SuvwI=92 yoH
puH QaDDaq paw
> The fearless warrior
> Climbs out of the blood
> Onto dry land.

AFAIK our one example of {Sal} in canon refers to mountains:
SaqSub'e' muSHa'bogh
pawmeH leng qeylIS
HuDmey Sal ghIq ghIr
And Kahless traveled to
His beloved Saq'sub,
Over the mountains [PB]
Cf. another example of {ghIr} "descend", also WRT {Hudmey}:
HuDmeyvo' ghIr chaH
Over the hills, they came. [PB]
Related words:
pep raise (v)
toS climb (v)
jIm heave (aircraft) (v)
ghIr descend (v)
chagh drop (v)
pum fall (v)
Dej collapse (v)
