Stumped Again - Go Figure

What a coincidence! For the first time today, I noticed that a buddy at work has a calendar with mensa questions on it. This was the question for today.

Each word has a smaller word in it that when read backwards forms another word (e.g. bat, tab).

so what's the word in turned?

rut and den.

Rut would work since tur is listed at m-w.com, although it could be a name.

ned/den would work if names are accepted.

I don't remember what the calendar had for that one.

Each word has two vowels and syllables?
