What is this? Not an answer to my question at any rate ...

If it's supposed to be the words I listed above backwards, running _lane_
/lejn/ backwards certainly yields /njel/, not /nejl/, and similarly for
_mine_ and _lode_. Your idiolect would also differ from mine, in which "car"
and "rock" don't have the same vowel, and neither do "door" and "rode".
