verb/plaˈɲiɾ/

to cry and groan

Synonyms: llantear

Related: plañidera, plañidero

From Latin plangere (compare Italian piangere, French plaindre, Portuguese planger and Romanian plânge). Perhaps a semi-learned form; cf. also an old Spanish llañer (having expected phonetic development) with attested forms llangamos and llangan as well as plañer, which was modified with a conjugation change into the current form.
