How is {Qumran} different from {tetlh} "roll, scroll, list"?  

Does {Qumran} refer to the physical aspects of a scroll, while {tetlh} is more of a (longish) list (i.e. material vs. content)?  

When Okrand has referred to {tetlh} before, he tends to translate it as "list":  e.g. {naD tetlh} Commendation List (KGT), {Soj tetlh} grocery list (st.k 7/09/1998), {'ay'mey tetlh} technical callouts (i.e. a "parts list"; BoP Poster).
