"Sand" does occur once in the paq'batlh ({ghobchuq loDnI'pu'}, 2nd verse):
SuvtaH SuvtaH
qamDu'chaj bIngDaq
letchoH lam nagh rur
They fought on and on,
The sand beneath their feet
Turned hard as rock
Here, Okand used {lam} "dirt" -- which may be a more general term than in English. As far as I can tell, it's the only example of {lam} in the paq'batlh.

I too have been having trouble finding a good way to express sand and ash and bribe for example. I think describing ground-up rock confuses people if trying to talk about sand.
Hmm. nagh pullu'pu'bogh is actually a pretty decent substitute for sand.
