Early Primitive Elvish

alu

root. cleanse, dress

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “cleanse, dress” with variants ᴱ√ALHU, ᴱ√ALNU (QL/30). For the sense “clean” there are other later roots like ᴹ√POY that may replace it (Ety/POY). The gloss “dress” seems to refer to dressing or treating material like leather, based on the derivative ᴱQ. alu “dressed leather”; there seems to be no later replacement for this other sense.
