Thanks Michelle, I feel the same. In Dutch for example, a scroll can be called "boekrol", so the thought of a book is there. However, in all examples I have found so far, Germanic languages always use some word related to "roll", precisely to indicate how the object is different from the codex. For that reason I would still lean towards eliminating those particular versions in the vernacular, keeping open the possibility that we may need to return to them later.
