Etymology

NLem weth‑a ‘scroll’
LMLem, MLem aweth‑yr
Ghe afˡetsh‑ə̄ /aβɛtʃɯː/

This word, originally meaning ‘scroll’, now refers to books of all shapes, and especially the modern form consisting of bound pages. The older term for ‘book’, NLem blU‑a (< Koi βιβλί‑ον) has fallen out of use after acquiring pejorative connotations along the lines of ‘old, yellowing, smelly tome’. (Also, blU‑a was homonymic with the word for Africa.)
