Huh, that's interesting to use "peace" as a greeting. Every time I've used it it's always been as a farewell.

You might be onto something there. I too don't claim to be an expert, but but if over time, these phrases began to resemble one another by demand. In order for tribes of people with a specific type of good to trade, they had to communicate in some sort of way, right? Again, no expert, just thinking about interesting possibilities.
