neutral  Ivan Chamme: yo creo que hay un error dedos en ablucion? muy extraño en el unico contexto en que he visto ablucion fue en el religioso "el lavado antes de la oracion"

  -> Sí, es extraño. Yo encontré estos links y los ingresé como referencia para ayudar a Susan pero no lo puse como respuesta precisamente porque no tengo ninguna seguridad. Igual parece claro que la plantilla se amolda a los dedos con el uso.
agree  Richard Boulter: This is a good take. I went hunting and came up with nothing to clear this up. I think using 'ablucion' here was a personal choice of use by the source writer, requiring translation creativity as with an invented word. Best of luck, and happy typing.

  -> thank you Richard, at first I thought Susan´s text might be a bad translation from another language but even in that case it would be very hard to use "ablución" by mistake.
agree  Janice Roquero: http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/103190472/Hot_Water_Heat... I would go along with this, hope it helps. Cheers, Janice
