[But these words have little if anything to do with romance.]

The hint gives the number of letters for each word.

CLUES:
1. Useful spice (whole or ground)
2. It is known as the "crocodile bird" in Egypt
3. Scruffy, bedraggled and slobbish!
4. Wearing fingered hand coverings
5. Type of sweater

A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?
1. A lashing device in Athens & a feeble grasp
2. The source of a leaky kettle & why a vaulter would need to wear oven mitts

Take the given words and by moving a single letter from one word to the other, make a pair of synonyms, or near synonyms.
For example,
given: Boast - Hip,
move the 's' from 'Boast' to 'Hip' creating two synonyms: Boat - Ship.
1. Our - Start
2. Strip - Tumble
3. Clause - Idea
