Re: A Little Test
I'm rubbish at these things, and to prove the point....
They all have two consecutive letters reversed
1.an, na
2.es, se
3.ra, ar
etc.

Re: A Little Test
They are all a palindrome, move the 1st letter to the end, you get the word spelled backwards.

I want to thank my mother for giving me unconditional support when I chose this crazy career. You questioned me only once. Are you sure you don't want to be a doctor? Yes, mom, I'm sure. I love you.

Re: A Little Test
No, they are not palindromes - they only become palindromes when you move the letter.

Grammar

Actually they only become palindromes if you copy the letter, and who ever heard of a bananab, or grammarg, or unevenu, etc., ??
What they have in common is that they're weird because they make the same word if you move the first letter to the end then read the word from right to left. No more no less.
