Heterophones, homographs, or heteronyms: Whatever you call them, they are words like record, content, deliberate, tear, or polish that have different pronunciations for different meanings. There are at least 2 such words over a dozen letters in English...Does anyone know of any such words that are 13 letters or longer (Please provide definitions and pronunciation)?

There are two homographs of thirteen letters where the word may be either a noun or a verb and the phonetic pronunciation is different. The definitions are well known to all, but the words and phonetic pronunciations are as follows:
Each of the following clues is about a single word with the smaller words "and", and "or" inside. They're not jumbled, but may appear in reverse order. I will give you the other letters in proper order. Hope you have a good time and/or fun!
