Could it be that we need to remove 2 letters from the longer words?
IANNOU: Yes--the instructions were from a previous, similar puzzle. Sorry about that;-)
All right then, I'll give it a shot :)

2. peculiar behaviour/annoy - quirk/irk
3. subatomic particle/large boat - quark/ark
4. small game bird/to be unwell - quail/ail
5. large feather pen/unwell; faulty - quill/ill
6. nausea; uncomfortable/simple - queasy/easy
7. unit of liquid measure/product of creativity - quart/art
