Each two-word phrase below represents a word that has a long and short form. To find the long form, you must correctly change one letter in each word of the phrase and combine the resulting letters. Do not change the order of the letters. For example, BRAT HEX - change the A in BRAT to O and the X in HEX to R - to get BROT HER (BROTHER). The first three letters of the long form will spell the short form of the word - as BRO for BROTHER.
