Last of my ROT13 nonsense, for now.
There are more words that reverse if you ROT13 them, but aren't necessarily real words when reversed: 'robe', 'serf' and 'thug' are fairly common examples. (Yes, I know about 'Ebor', archaic name for York)
Longest ROT13 self-reversing word I can find is 'tavering' (Scots: to wander aimlessly). Next shorter are 'rebore', 'ravine' and 'grivet' (a species of monkey). Obscure examples are 'averin', 'cherup' and 'granet': all in OED, just.
