What is the longest rhymonym?

What is the longest pair of words you can find that rhyme and can also be synonyms / used to describe the same phenomenon?

For instance, spot and dot. The goal is to have the longest total length so this example would be scored as 7. A quick thesaurus check and it can be improved to spot+blot=8. How high can you score?

(If it may be unclear how the two words are synonyms, please provide an explanation and / or example.)

_{I realize this may turn into a competition for the best dictionary, thesaurus, and programming skills but it should be a challenge either way.}

Current definite best:

$36$

Counterproductiveness Mischievousness

- causing trouble (can't pluralise the former with es like the latter for $40$ unfortunately)

Previous definate best:

$33$:

Internationali$kern2musfsmallrlap{raise7mu s}raise-3mu z kern1mu$ation Globali$kern2musfsmallrlap{raise7mu s}raise-3mu z kern1mu$ation

Hmm are either of these actually OK?:

$41$ ($39$ without hyphens):

Self-characteri$kern2musfsmallrlap{raise7mu s}raise-3mu z kern1mu$ation Self-differentiation

$35$:

Recharacteri$kern2musfsmallrlap{raise7mu s}raise-3mu z kern1mu$ation Redifferentiation

I thought I had

$34$ with:

Intellectuali$kern2musfsmallrlap{raise7mu s}raise-3mu z kern1mu$ation Rationali$kern2musfsmallrlap{raise7mu s}raise-3mu z kern1mu$ation, but Wikipedia disagrees.

I wouldn't count "counterproductiveness" and "mischievousness" because they don't have the same sounds from the stressed syllable onwards. The only thing they have in common is that they end in "ness".

I have another answer.

Bathmophobia and Climacophobia.

Definitions:

Bathmophobia — the fear of observing a steep slope, that of which includes stairs; and

Climacophobia — the fear of climbing, or sometimes descending, stairs.

Score:

The words are quite similar and they both rhyme, holding a total score of $25$ points.

Since I don't think this is substantially worse than what's been suggested, I'll use it as a legitimate answer:

friggatriskaidekaphobia and paraskevidekatriaphobia

for a score of 46.

I wouldn't count "counterproductiveness" and "mischievousness" because they don't have the same sounds from the stressed syllable onwards. The only thing they have in common is that they end in "ness".
