i would imagine that its English spelling as it has to mean the same thing once the letter is taken out and rearranged into the other word. i thought it might be illuminate and luminatle but i dont think it is.

Not only are they different parts of speech, but they wouldn't even be synonyms if they were.

You're in the UK, have you heard of the service called Any Question Answered (text 63336 you get one free question from their website as well), they've never failed me yet and I sent them your question, cheating I know. They replied "The 2 words are repairable and reparable. Repairable has 10 letters with 5 vowels & 5 consonants. Removing the 'i' gives reparable which is a synonym." The time taken for them to answer was 2 minutes - don't know how they do it!!
