- purify, cleanse. Purify or cleanse. To undergo or perform ritual purification, especially in religious contexts involving ceremonial cleansing or being made ritually clean.
Example: tondũ nĩkĩrĩkĩtie gũtherio na Ũhoro wa Ngai o na kũhoya. (for it is made holy by the invocation of God in prayer. The invocation of God in prayer : literally, “the word of God and petition.” The use of “word of God” without an article in Greek suggests that it refers to the name of God being invoked in blessing rather than to the “word of God” proclaimed to the community.); Na thutha wa aarĩkia gũtherio, makamũtarĩra matukũ mũgwanja eikarie o ro ũguo. (After he is again clean, he must wait an additional seven days;)
