Usage notes

Translation given in HolQeD-11-2 is ron roll and ronmoH cause to roll or bank. Since, quite obviously, an intransitive meaning is intended for ron the word have here been translated be rolling, be banking, instead. This translation is also suggested by the use of ronmoH for to roll (a die) in MKE.
