These 10 words have had their beginnings and endings removed. The same two letters can be found at the beginning and the end of each word. (For example REspiRE.)

..YLI..
..GIB..
..SUL..
..LIV..
..QUI..
..IFI..
..RMI..
..ALG..
..GRA..
..STO..

Each of the 10 words might use a different pair of letters. Can you determine all 10 words?
