IN and EN

At the request of a reader (Olivia in Rochester, NY), I'm listing all words here that can take both the prefix EN- and IN-.... though some aren't words until you put the prefix on. (DORSE, TRANT, URE)

Some are just alternated spellings of each other, and some have completely different meanings. Here they are:

-ACTIVE -CAGE -CASE -CLASP -CLOSE -CRUST -CUMBER -DORSE -DOW -DUE -FLAME -FOLD -GRAFT -GRAIN -GULF -LACE -MESH -QUIRE -SCROLL -SHEATH -SHRINE -SNARE -SOUL -SPHERE -SURE -SWATHE
-THRALL -THRONE -TITLE -TOMB -TRANT -TREAT -TRENCH -TRUST
-TWINE -TWIST -URE -WIND -WRAP
