TWO RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
My first is the half of, not end nor beginning,
My second that woman men kiss without sinning.

2)
I'm seen in the moon, but not in the sun,
I join in joy, but not in fun;
I'm found in a fork, but not in a knife,
I belong to the parson, but not to his wife.

I go with the rogue, but not with the thief,
I'm seen in a book, but not in a leaf;
I stay in a town, but not in the street,
I go with your toes, but not with your feet.
