There's a pattern, but it's so easy that saying what it is would give too much away.

If any of them give you trouble, try just focussing on the first syllable or two of each clue.

7 - Muromanian?

i admit i had to look up if that was actually a thing. does that DQ it?

(it's attested like once in the entire universe as an alternate name for "muromian", some extinct finnic thing)

Yes and yes! The intended answer for #7 actually was "Muromian"; chalk it up to some awkward elision. Murrow minion. Or "Me"-ian, i.e. Despicable Me.
