Why are these words suspicious?
Detective Jezerezeh has found a table of suspicious words:
list
teeth
actions
grammar
saying
information
engage
ballad
terror
What's so suspicious about them?
Hint 1:
I will either add more words or more hints if this isn't solved soon.

It would be much appreciated, if you could wait about 24h before adding hints, we have people in many time zones, so it would be nice if everyone got an equal chance.

@Bass "Soon" is relative. 1 billion years could be soon in the grand scheme of things given the timescale of the universe. Oddly enough, I was going to say 24 hours, but decided against giving an exact time because I might forget to get back on this website anywhere around this time tomorrow.

No, but this deserves an upvote because it's quite a coincidence that this works.

Preliminary guess
Three of them are near-palindromes: teet(h), (g)rammar, e(n)gage.
Also (and this was my hint),
(J)ezereze(h). And -- a bit more of a stretch -- su(sp)ici(o)us itself.
But that doesn't explain
list, actions, saying, information. They seem to be ... speech-related ???
[OP added words while I was writing this]:
(b)alla(d), which fits. Terror... uhm. :-)

Not quite. However, rot13(gur snpg gung guerr bs gurz ner arne-cnyvaqebzrf vf abg n pbvapvqrapr). Also, you caught that earlier than usual. Perhaps "I will add more hints" tipped you off to the fact that there already was a hint.

Preliminary guess
Three of them are near-palindromes: teet(h), (g)rammar, e(n)gage.
Also (and this was my hint),
(J)ezereze(h). And -- a bit more of a stretch -- su(sp)ici(o)us itself.
But that doesn't explain
list, actions, saying, information. They seem to be ... speech-related ???

@Bass "Soon" is relative. 1 billion years could be soon in the grand scheme of things given the timescale of the universe. Oddly enough, I was going to say 24 hours, but decided against giving an exact time because I might forget to get back on this website anywhere around this time tomorrow.
