mourn
MOURN, verb intransitive [Latin maereo.]
1. To express grief or sorrow; to grieve; to be sorrowful. Mourning may be expressed by weeping or audible sounds, or by sobs, sighs or inward silent grief.
Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep. Genesis 23:2.
Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4.
2. To wear the customary habit of sorrow.
We mourn in black.
Grieve for an hour perhaps, then mourn a year.
MOURN, verb transitive To grieve for; to lament. But there is an ellipsis of for, the verb not being transitive. When we say, we mourn a friend or a child, the real sense and complete phrase is, we mourn for a friend, or mourn for the loss of a friend. 'He mourn'd his rival's ill success, ' that is, he mourned for his rival's ill success.
1. To utter in a sorrowful manner.
The love lorn nightingale
Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth well.
Noah Webster, An American Dictionary of the English Language (1828). A conservative base-form lookup may be used when the exact inflected KJV form is not a Webster headword.
