You know words like "live" where if you read it backwards, it makes a whole new word ("evil")? Not like a palindrome, but when read backwards it's a totally different word? Help! |

Only word geeks would do this. The term you're looking for is apparently "semordnilap"

Mr. L Alexander.,
I never knew how much your books not only shaped me- but met to me, until a few weeks ago. No one who grew up with your books grew up alone thank you.

As the first responder said, the word is palindromes backwards, semordnilap, this link gives a few more exampes:
