Jane --

I can only think of two more off the top of my head, but I suspect the list will provide lots more (and this is fun!):

Torpor / torpid
Pallor / pallid


The attempt to think of more has now left me with the awful forms "gelor" and "insipor"; analogy is not always a good thing...

On a lighter note, (for an SAT vocab exercise) I wonder if I might solicit words that fit the pattern of noun ending in -or and adjective in -id.

For instance:

splendor/splendid
candor/candid
rancor/rancid
stupor/stupid

Thanks!
