I think there is mainly a difference in sub-categorization, oewn-00363001-v does not take a verb complement.
On the other hand, oewn-02686624-v takes noun or verb.
'break, break off, discontinue' only take noun complements (I think).

Motivation I can't see the difference in these senses. Preventing completion of an activity implies ending the activity and vica versa

All the verbs in both synsets seem to be able to take a verbal complement (examples from CoCA)
"give up (on) doing what they love most" "And you said " lay off commenting about defending and goal keeping" "who planned to never cease being a girl" "found Jesus and quit using heroin" "she'd break off singing and begin to laugh" "find a new provider or discontinue receiving a service"
It could be the case that "break" only takes noun complements, but I have trouble finding any of this verb used in this sense at all (with any complements)
Fair enough, then merge (and maybe lose break)!
