What a great list, Nicholas!!! I can always count on you for something interesting. Of these, I have definitely used the following:
Advertent (Inadvertent)

Couth (Uncouth)

Odorant (Deodorant)

Pervious (Impervious)

Licit (Illicit)

Histamine (Antihistamine)

Infectant (Disinfectant)

And I must try to use:
Feckful (Feckless)

Maculate (Immaculate)

I like those two a lot!
Happy TT, my friend!
