poy
root. *clean
This root appeared as unglossed ᴱ√POYO in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. poika “clean, tidy” and ᴱQ. poita- “cleanse” (QL/75). It also had derivatives in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon such as G. puictha- “clean, wipe out; condone, do away with, pardon, forgive” and G. puig “clean, neat, tidy” (GL/64). It reappeared as unglossed ᴹ√POY in The Etymologies of the 1930s with derivatives like ᴹQ. poika/N. puig “clean” (Ety/POY).

sovo
root. wash
A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants ᴱ√SOVO and ᴱ√SOW̯O glossed “wash”, having derivatives like ᴱQ. sovo- “wash” and ᴱQ. saune “bath” (QL/85), the latter a result of the Early Qenya sound change whereby [[eq|[ei], [ou] became [ai], [au]]] (in later Quenya phonology, these generally became [ī], [ū]). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon, the primitive form was given as soƀ with derivatives like G. sô- “wash, clean, bathe” and G. sôn “pure, clean” from primitive ᴱ✶sou̯na (GL/68). This last primitive form reappeared in Early Noldorin Word-lists from the 1920s where it had derivatives like ᴱQ. sauna “clean” and ᴱN. hûn “polished, burnished, shining” (PE13/148).
Neo-Eldarin: I think it is worth positing an Neo-Root ᴺ√SOW “wash” and variant ᴺ√SAW “bath” to salvage some of these early words.

fasa Speculative
root. wash
A hypothetical early root to explain words in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s such as G. fas- “wash” and G. fôs “bath” (GL/34). It seems to have at least one Qenya derivative as well in the 1910s-name: ᴱQ. Faskala-númen “Bath of the Setting Sun” (LT1/187). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.
