one for all the people that like word puzzles

following on from the maths one elsewhere on this board,heres one for the people that like word puzzles:

take a word of 10 letters.5 of which are vowels and 5 of which are consonants.remove a letter I from the word,and rearrange the remaining 9 letters to form a word that is a synonym of the first word.
what are the 2 words?

same rules as last time.you have one week to give the answer.
have fun
jox

looks like this one is proving more difficult lol

Hmmmmm....I'll figure this out....it may take me a while though....

Hmmm...yeah.

I need another hint! What letter does it start with?

Is that an "I" or an "L"?

Just posting to give it a try later.

still no takers yet then?

Yeah! We need a hint!!
This will drive me crazy is I don't figure it out soon!

i give you a hint.one word has a letter I [eye] in it,the other one doesnt.
you now know as much as I do!

its been bugging me for 15 days and ive got one more week to find the answer before i have to send it off.ive done the other 49 questions with a little help from others inc that maths one [thanks p-g and everyone else] and this is the last one left.
ive been up most nights trying to figure it out and my brain hurts now.

i would imagine that its English spelling as it has to mean the same thing once the letter is taken out and rearranged into the other word

i thought it might be illuminate and luminatle but i dont think it is.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Miami Vice wrote: [/QUOTENAME] It can't be a place name or a persons name. Since it has so many letters,could it be a word from the realm of science?[/QUOTE]

as long as it means the same thing when rearranged without the i in it,it can be any word but it wont be a name or a place,it would have to be a descriptive word.

we in the UK spell it alluminium,hows it spelt in the US.is it alluminum?
