EAT YOUR WORDS XI

Each word in the left-hand column can "eat" one of the words in the right-hand column to produce a new word - without any re-arrangement of letters. For example, the word CENTER can swallow the word TIME to form CENTIMETER (cenTIMEter). The words in the right-hand column are in random order. Can you match the eaters with the "eatees" and determine the new words?
