13 L2L (Posted on 2019-12-25) Difficulty: 4 of 5
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!

Some Thoughts Summing It All Up Comment 8 of 8 |
(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)
(8) landfull: the seacoast just sighted on voyage -> (13)
(9) landsmaal (original:landsmâl): one of the two official Scandinavian languages (before 1929) -> (9)
(10)
(11) lactational: producing milk -> (10)
(12) longitudinal: running lengthwise-> (2) 
(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.
