Notes[?]

PrimaGames.com definition suggests kel is a general word for ‘scroll’ rather than a proper noun. However, kel is only ever used in reference to the Elder Scrolls, and there is no indication besides the PrimaGames.com note that an unabbreviated name exists. Kel should be used only to mean ‘Elder Scroll’.
