Some more lovely silent e word pairs - an oops plus some more (original post 2.10.17)

Oh dear, wad/wade, wad is promounced wod, isn't it!

Thought of these last night:
quit/quite  twin/twine  fin/fine

writ/write  Whit/white  input/impute  rid/ride  Sid/side  win/wine  hug/huge  sat/sate  Tim/time  wad/wade  hop/hope

I feel so chuffed when I think of new pairs. It's better than counting sheep for sending me to sleep. I'm even looking for them as I read.
PS I know input/impute has a different letter at the beginning but I thought it was still worthy of a mention. (For years, I actually thought that the spelling of input was 'imput'! What an admission?!)
