All four are palindromes: they can be read from left to right or from right to left without the word changing.

Replacing a single letter radically displaces the action.

reler is to return to what has already been read.

rever is to see again, to examine anew, to reconsider.

reter is to keep, to hold, to stop the passage.

reger is to conduct, to organize, to establish an order.

02 — frontal view, diffuse light

03 — letter r, detail of the soldersteel, brass

The reading returns to the same point.
The body does not.
