Reversed Rebuses

However, the original rebus from the clues below will actually form a word. For example, "Not old in actually existing" would be "renewal" (new in real). Can you solve the rest?
1. A set of three in a gentle, affectionate gesture
2. Something used in clothes-making in beer
3. A repeated muscular contraction in arriving after the expected time
4. Help in male homo sapiens.
5. A mountain summit in the production of vocal melodies
6. Not on in a water-dwelling animal
