  • Antonym Transposals

    From currielw@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 14 06:47:32 2020
    Can anyone point me to a list of antonyms that are also transposals of each other?

    Thanks.

    REPRESENTATIONALISM / MISREPRESENTATIONAL

    (According to Dan Tilque, the transposal definitions and results are from from Word Recreations by A. Ross Eckler, although the results were discovered mostly by members of the National Puzzler’s League, without the aid of computers.)


    how about : Teacher / Cheater

    how about : Nerve / Nerves

    (merci, ....)
