Synsets
oewn-02292634-v (Interlingual Index: i33171)
(v) lose fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense “She lost her purse when she left it unattended on her seat”

oewn-02292463-v (Interlingual Index: i33170)
(v) lose miss from one's possessions; lose sight of “I've lost my glasses again!”

Motivation
I cannot figure out what distinction in sense was meant here. The first synset is more widely used in resources such as SemCor

Okay, so one of the meanings is the opposite of 'keeping' and the other is the opposite of 'finding'. This would suggest that one sense is more active, however I still don't see this as a meaningful sense distinction.
