EW Lac showed remarkablevariations in 1976–1986, and a similarvariation started again in around 2007, after some quasi-periodicvariations. For the firstvariation event, we analyzed the spectroscopic behaviors of emission lines and shell absorption lines of the Balmer series. Thevariations of the Hthrough Hlines are characterized by the different manner of variations of the individual emission line in time lag and in duration of thephases. Weak correlation is also notable between thevariations and other variations of the line-profile parameters, such as the peak velocities, emission-line intensities, and peak separations. We analyzed shell absorption lines for higher members of the Balmer series concerning their central depths and radial velocities. The optical depth of the Hline is in the range of 2000 to 6000, and its long-term variation discloses different behaviors as compared to thevariations. Combining the analyses of emission and shell absorption lines, and regarding thevariation as wave propagation phenomena, we find for the 1976–1986 event that thevariation is of retrograde structure, and that a spiral structure is likely formed inside the disk in the latter half of this event. The weak correlations among physical parameters are suggestive of the disk being truncated at some radius. It is noticed that remarkable stellar brightening occurred in the latter half of the event, accompanying a marked decrease of the emission-line intensities. As for avariation that appeared in around 2007, which looks like a recurrence of a previous event, we found a less developed state of the disk without an appreciable time lag.
