A pyramid of words (Posted on 2005-10-12)

You have to fill the pyramid with eleven words, starting from the second level of the pyramid, and following downwards. Each answer word will contain all the letters of the previous answer plus one letter, and anagrammed. All the words have an "I", already placed, and only 5 clues about them are given.
