ᴱQ. poita- v. “to cleanse” (Category: to Wash)

A verb appearing ᴱQ. poita- {“cleanse, tidy up, straighten” >>} “cleanse” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under from the early root ᴱ√POYO (QL/75).

Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹ√POY was still associated with “clean” words in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/POY), I would retain ᴺQ. poita- “to cleanse, *clean” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
