Post any fun/trivial/interesting language-related things here. Tried some search queries to see if there was a general wordplay thread. Couldn't find anything.

Here's just a weird little thing I noticed. This may or may not be interesting to anyone else.

There are two rhyming, one-syllable adjectives, that I would call synonyms vaguely, and antonyms specifically. I'd say they both could be vaguely defined as "alone" or "taken by itself, considering nothing else", but in one case implying insufficiency, due to being alone, and in the other case implying sufficiency, despite being alone.

Can anyone figure out what words I'm talking about?
