[edit] Merge?

I'm suggesting that Lotah be merged with this article as they seem to be talking about the same thing. - Technostalgia 18:12, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be much controversy about this move...I'm sure someone would have discused it further if so. I think I'll merge the two in 24 hours. DoodoggyDoodoggy 01:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

The merge article should then be moved, and this turned into a da page. Lota is also the name of a Brisbane, Queensland suburb. Alex Law 08:12, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Redirect lotah, lotaa to lota

'Lota' is the dictionary spelling - 'Lotah' and 'Lotaa' should be redirected to 'Lota'. --Zybez13 07:11, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary and Inaccurate Description

Removed:

Cleaning is accomplished by holding the lota in the right hand and pouring water on the area to be cleansed, while the left hand is used to clean the area as the water comes down. The assignment of tasks to each hand is important, as the use of lotas is derived from Islamic traditions where the right hand is usually used to start most everyday tasks (such as eating or drinking) and thus should not make contact with the area to be cleaned. In most South Asian and Middle Eastern countries, the use of lotas is considered to provide a more thorough cleaning than simply using toilet paper.
