the meaning of roll
Hello, everyone
Would you please read the following definition for roll:
"To move forward along a surface by revolving on an axis or by repeatedly turning over."
Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/roll+over
My question is: Shouldn't it be around, instead of on? What about about?
i.e. roll around/about an axis.
Thank you.
