This paper will start by focusing on the morphosemantics of a Latin verb  lūgeō  ‘mourn’, which represents an emotion felt by people mentally excruciated by their loved one’s death. Traditionally, it has been believed that the Proto-Indo-European verbal root * leu̯g - ‘break’ underlies  lūgeō , but recently this etymology has been challenged. However, I will support the traditional ‘break’ hypothesis through a novel semantic comparison to  doleō  ‘feel pain’, a verb also expressing a type of sensation humans often experience. Since its underlying root * delh    1   - means ‘hew, split’, similar to ‘break’, the semantic development of  doleō  would provide a neat parallel for  lūgeō . Having salvaged the connection with * leu̯g -, I will advocate a stative formation (with *- eh    1   - i̯é -) for  lūgeō  instead of the more commonly presumed iterative reconstruction (with *- éi̯e -). The analysis conducted for  lūgeō  turns out to be useful for  doleō , too; I will propose that the latter verb’s wider semantic range is best explained as the result of the convergence of two formations, a stative form meaning ‘feel pain’ (with *- eh    1   - i̯é -) and an iterative form meaning ‘habitually give pain to’ (with *- éi̯e -, as previously assumed for this verb).

Iterative or stative? New morphosemantic analyses of Latin lūgeō ‘mourn’ and doleō ‘feel pain’
