Does anyone know what the verb stem here is? According to the rule, it should be kufua, but that doesn't show up in the dictionary at all. What word are they using for "wash?"

    It's kufua, and it means ''to wash clothes''. Just ''to wash'' is kuosha.

      Agree, reported. The solution implies that no clothes at all can be washed.
