The first six have reverse pairing of a consonant and a vowel.  The last one has two consonants, but if I say they simple have reverse pairing of letters, it works.

I think I got it. 

If you take the first letter of each word, remove it and add it to the end of the word, each word is spelled the same forwards and backwards.
