Can you tell me the answers to these

*a_e > "Table" is a bit tricky. (I would assume) for it is "...a_e..." and you can only fit letters prior to "a" and one in-between "a" and "e". As the provided example, which is "late".

*ay > essay
*ey > wey
*eig 
*eigh
*aigh > haight
*ea > steak
*ei > freight
*a > lay
*ag > again
*e_e > asynartete
