I'm guessing that maybe with a couple of exceptions, the answer is yes.
The next question is, what is it that these words have in common?
Um, they're all Latin words or derivations thereof, right?

Yes, quite correct (except for the three Greek and two Hebrew words). But -- more specific than that...what is the thread that binds them together?

They all come from words in the Roman rite mass?
