Word meld and weld is slightly different from previous puzzles of this nature.
In this puzzle you have to get from the word SISTER to the word BROTHER.
The rules are simple, either change a letter, add a letter or remove a letter.
The only proviso is that each word created must be a genuine English word.

Here are some more to try

BLACK
:
:
WHITE

NIGHT
:
:
DAY

HUNGRY
:
:
THIRSTY

Can you find any other such word meld/welds that go from one word to its opposite?

Again, they are probably shorter solutions, but here goes:

NIGHT
nigh( )
Sigh
sigN
si( )n
sOn
soY
sAy
Day
DAY

I've been working on Hungry - Thirsty and been having a lot of trouble.  I just can't get started.

I have Thirsty --> Thirty or Thirst, and then I get stuck.

I have Hungry --> Hungary (if that is even legal since it is a proper noun), and then I get stuck.

Anyone have any obcure starter words for either Hungry or Thirsty?

Personally I don't think the two are opposites... Thirsty - Quenched, or Hungry - Satiated or something would make more sense to me, but it's not a big deal :)
