lãbãrTa= a se lãrgi excesiv, a se deforma, a se intinde in lãturi.
Et. nec.
lãbãrTat= Despre haine. Care s-au largit prea mult; Despre scris. cu
litere prea mari si distantate intre ele.Despre gesturi: care arata
lipsa de voiucine, incetineala, lene

lãbãrTa= to become to large, to deform itself, to get out of shape ,
Unknw. Etym.

lãbãrTat= About clothes: which became to lare; About writting: with
to big letters and with big space among them. About gesticulations:
which shows missing life, slowliness, lazyness.

For the semantism it feels the Germanic "schlapp" und "schlaff" too
regarding the meaning about gesticulations.
bout clothes: it feels the germanic Schlabberig and
Albanian "labërgon"

Wich should be the problem with the semantism here?
