The following 13 concise definitions describe words of 3 to 15 letters, each beginning by L and terminating by L.
The words are mostly adjectives.
The answer for 8 letter word fitting "pertaining to tears" definition would be
lacrimal.
Clearly, there is another definition in the list below (presented in randomized order):
* alphabetical
* running lengthwise
* a period of calm weather
* favoring reforms, not orthodox
* morbidly drowsy, dull
* acronym for laughing out aloud
* a vagabond, a good-for-nothing
* legal, authorized
* one of the 2 official Scandinavian languages
* producing milk
* impractical, indolent
* having a bill like ducks and geese
* the seacoast just sighted on voyage
Good luck, folks!
(3 ) lol : acronym for laughing out loud -> (6)
(4) lull: a period of calm weather -> (3)
(5) losel: a vagabond, good for nothing -> (7)
(6) lawful: legal, authorized-> (8)
(7) liberal: favouring reforms, not orthodox -> (4)

(13) lackasaidal: impractical, indolent -> (11)
(14) lamellirostral: having a bill like ducks and geese -> (12)
(15) lexicographical: alphabetical-> (1)
Regarding 10 letters, the puzzle author has given a hint that:
It is "an archaic form defining extremely drowsy, in its present form the -al at the end is dropped."
I have been striving since then to find the word, but no fruition regarding to the foregoing has been achieved till date.
