I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Times for the Times have:

سَلَام for those of you who can read Arabic, in full ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ , as-salāmu ʿalaykum, peace be upon you. The way this works is you select MA as parent, ALAS for sadly, and then since she’s not going forward, she’s reversed.
