The first one looks like Catch Light, become ignited - but I don't know how the rest of it works...and that'd be two words anyway!

Catch light or catchlight is a light source that causes a specular highlight in a subject's eye in an image. They are also referred to as eye lights or Obies, the latter a reference to Merle Oberon, for whom the light was invented by then husband and cinematographer, Lucien Ballard.

Thanks, Rossim. I'd checked Chambers earlier and there was no mention of it...yet I felt it was right!
