A word game requiring greater thought

Each word must be at least 4 letters long.

Each new word must have at least one vowel change to another vowel.

Each new word must retain at least two consonants.

Example:

Another example
slime

moles  (i changed to o, retained s,l,m)

smile (o changed to i, s,l,m retained)

snail (e changed to a, retained s,l)

your turn:

Should I start with a word?

waves

lol, start with snail, but that's ok.

swivel

How exactly am I supposed to revert to that? if i keep w and v i wont be able to replace, no wait there practically isnt a word like that so yeah no

how about
vowel
woven
loves

glove

  so many to choose from.

but how can i- oh this requires a loooot of brain 

just a few more brain cells than the mundane ones! u can do it! look at those example choices. see a vowel changed? see 2 or more consonants retained?

I will choose for all you three above then do another. gosh, i can't do this all myself though!

glove

vial     (you get it now? its easy-peasy)

watch, i do more:

slave
tails
haunts
shim
