[gdw]

  FEW:  longus 5,416b Gdf:  eslongier  GdfC: TL: DEAF:  lonc (eslongier)  DMF:  eslonger  TLF:  élonger  OED: MED: DMLBS:
esloigner,  esloignier,  eslongier,  eslongner,  eiloigner  i 268  

Derivatives of the adjectives lung (‘long’, from Latin longus) and luin (‘far’, from Latin longe – with the adverbial form producing a diphthongization of the root vowel) are separated on etymological and semantic grounds. However, the overlap of spelling variants (with or wihtout the diphthonization) between the two groups suggests no firm distinction between them.
