If enough members agree about the general principle, we could find names based on fact. For example, we could refer to the "zodiac section" as "calendar section" or "month roundels" because someone has written months on them. That's a neutral fact. The challenge will just be to find something people agree with.
i agree, however, that for some sections this is difficult. Especially the bathing section, I think. "Bathing" is an assumption and steers towards a balneis interpretation. On the other hand, it is very convenient.
Then again, it is not clear at all to me whether "bathing section" refers to the entire quire 13 or only to those folios where people are sitting in large pools of water! So even within the traditional terminology, I would love to have some forum standard we can refer to.
