Three at a time

Each group has three words that are spelled the same, except for one letter (each group describes a different set of words). Example: king, ring, wing.

1a) a military rank
1b) a landed estate
1c) an elected official

2a) to turn upside down
2b) to cover completely
2c) to create for the first time

3a) a sticky substance
3b) jewel
3c) slang for "leg"

4a) to abuse verbally
4b) to make a new version
4c) to restore to life

  2. 2. invert/invest/invent

    Thought I would argue it's a bit of misdirection to use that definition for invest.

  4. 1) major, manor, mayor
    2) invert, invest, invent
    3) gum, gem, gam
    4) revile, revise, revive


    And aren't all puzzles an excercise in misdirection? ;-)
