The word "salvo" appears in literature with a remarkable versatility, often oscillating between abstract and concrete meanings. In classical texts such as Latin inscriptions and Dante’s Divine Comedy ([1], [2], [3]), the term is used to denote exceptions or conditions—for example, “salvo Caesare” implies "except for Caesar," setting a limitation or exception to a general rule. In Spanish literature, particularly in Benito Pérez Galdós’s Doña Perfecta ([4], [5], [6]), "salvo" is employed idiomatically; it conveys notions of respect or safety—as when someone arrives “sano y salvo” (safe and sound), thus highlighting an exemption from harm. Meanwhile, in historical and satirical works like those of Thomas Carlyle, Lewis Carroll, and François Rabelais ([7], [8], [9]), "salvo" takes on a more tangible, militaristic connotation, referring to a burst—be it the booming of cannons or even, humorously, a "volley of farts." Together, these examples illustrate how "salvo" adapts its meaning to fit contexts as varied as military action, conditional exceptions, and expressions of deference or safety.
