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

FLOCK                 STAR      
PANAMA             AMEN
ARTERY               YEN
