First one is perhaps EMOTE - what's starting every = e, second is mo, t for time, but I can't account for the e at the end

the second is GREATNESS. A work unit is erg, spelt backwards in the answer

Well, the rest of it is "sent" for despatched - backwards, and S for spades

just for clarification purposes-
EMOTE the TE comes from time minus IM (going)
