I was also going to use the word SAIn, but it's not in the dictionary anywhere. Good teaser!
I have seen SAIN (to make the sign of the cross on oneself) in some dictionaries, but I try to use the same resources for these teasers. That is what makes word ladders a bit difficult to construct.
I wasnt sure that sain was a word either. Heheh good one!
