Out of character for the language, just as it would be out of character 
for two little old English-speaking ladies meeting each other on the 
sidewalk to say "I salute you" as a greeting.

As a first thing to say when nobody is standing around suspiciously 
enough to prompt a {nuqneH}, I might call the person's name or say 
{SuH}, {Su'}, or {'eH}, depending on the context (usually {'eH}). 
{yIqIm} or {peqIm} is also known to be acceptable. If you already have 
the person's attention, drop the greeting entirely.
