Maybe this was too difficult. Anyway the answer is that all of them form anagrams from +S, +ED and +ING although they aren't verbs.

AIBELT
AMUSER

ASSER
BEVALA
BOALER
BRAA
CESSAL

Re: Stemmers Delight
But your list isn't words. You said "what connects the following words", showed us some words saying there was about 34 in total, and then you show us this list and it isn't words? What the hell is wrong with you?
