A greeting in Eastern countries (6)

I believe the answer is:

salaam

(Other definitions for salaam that I've seen before include "Eastern greeting" , "Muslim greeting gesture" , "Peaceful greeting" , "Muslim greeting signifying peace" , "An Oriental salute or bow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
