What I meant was I can't quite remember if the Lute Suites (BWV 995-998) were transcriptions of the Cello Suites (BWV 1001-1006), or if they're altogether different compositions, composed for the lute. I think the latter, but not 100% confident that's the case. (Yes, it's been a while since I've listened to the Lute Suites, though I just picked up a great version of the Cello Suites played by Ralph Kirschbaum.)
