Question

  Reveal hidden contents
Each line solves to a two-word phrase (couple) which when read backward (reversed) gives the solution of one of the other lines. Word breaks are not (necessarily) preserved.

For example, if ABCDE, FGH, HGFE and DCBA were words, then one might find:

Some line -> ABCDE FGH
Another line - > HGFE DCBA
