Ten nine-letter words have been separated into units of three letters. The units have been randomly put in the below list. Can you determine the original 10 words?

   ent sen oom ush ile cro
   cla rbr ise lis ssr lig
   hai mar htn age ess new
   sag clo gar ion ing oth
   enc ine col our erw cod 

I was trying to cross-reference the possiblities for each unit in each position of a nine-letter word, when I found that the only possiblities for 'sag' were:

mas sag ing
sag ebr ush
sag aci ous
sag itt ate

Some of those other parts are there, but it seems to be an impasse when trying to use sag with any of the other given units in making a word ...
