We did not talk about that, and it is even possible that he even might
have forgotten about {tetlh} - we won't know. :-/
But when I think about it and compare it to your examples, I guess that
it is exactly like you said:
{tetlh} might be a list of names for instance, and the {Qumran} is a
longish scrolled piece of paper.
Thinking further, a "list" of five names can be written on a small piece
of paper. A scroll like {Qumran} does not necessarily need any words on it.
