- (uncommon) water sprinkled over sauna stones to produce steam
1992, Numajiri Ryō, Sauna o tsukurō [Build a sauna], page 60:
- なぜロウリュを投げるかというと、その最大の目的は入浴者がサウナで快適に過ごせることにあります。蒸気により呼吸が楽になり、サウナの内部に長時間いても苦しくなりません。
- Naze rōryu o nageru ka to iu to, sono saidai no mokuteki wa nyūyokusha ga sauna de kaiteki ni sugoseru koto ni arimasu. Jōki ni yori kokyū ga raku ni nari, sauna no naibu ni chōjikan ite mo kurushiku narimasen.
- The reason we cast löyly is mainly to make the bather more comfortable in the sauna. The steam makes breathing easier, so one may stay inside the sauna for a long time without discomfort.
