root word question

Could someone give me some insight or sources on the history
and use of -stup- vs. -shag-,
particularly perestupat' vs. pereshagivat' ?
Is it correct that perestupat' can be used both literally
(e.g. - porog) and figuratively, as in transgression,
while pereshagivat' is only used literally?


Thanks,
