More likely..
Salt was extremely valuable in those days. Even during the time of the Romans, the world 'salary' was derived from the word 'sal' for salt, being soldiers were paid in salt.
With that said, what turned into a 'pillar of salt' most likely means is that he sold her, because she disobeyed his order.
Pillar of salt=$$$
Quoting: Seer777 More likely… Turned to ash rather than salt as someone else already said. Same origins of the word for alkali metals. Those salt forming metals were pulled from plant ashes, potash or potassium, soda ash from sodium. Cal or kal, not sal, is more likely where this is coming from. Calorie is a unit of heat, calcination is a process in which they burn things to get closer to those base chemicals. I don't think he had time to sell her in a city that was about to be incinerated. Ash is the more likely answer.
