A more modern view:
Now. I do not want any of my body parts or precious bits anywhere near either of these machines, nor any parts of people I care about, or any parts of characters I may write, unless they have been very very naughty and I don't want them to enjoy those parts ever, ever again. "Lathe" is not a function I can perform with my tongue. Nor can you, nor can any of the characters you write, unless they are Transformer-type deals or something.
Lave, however, is. It comes from the same root as "lavish," and your characters can give each other tongue baths if you desire, paying special attention to special parts, as long as they are laving. Not lathing.
Thank you for your attention.
Oh, also?
If you are summing things up, making a summation, a shortened list of important points, that's a summary.
This
is summery.
