Correct depends on what they are meant to mean.  these all look pretty much OK
and would mean roughly
1)  1 (collective) are the parents of 2  but <je> is represented by <jev> so 
<mamjevypa'u>, using <jav> or <jol> insted would give a natural  1 is a 
parent of 2
2)   1 are the paternal grandparents of 2 (see above)
3)  1 is the paternal grandfather of 2
4) 1 is the paternal grandmother of 2
5)  1 is the maternal grandfather of 2
6)  1 is a god mother/ holy mother of 2 -- probably not culturally neutral: 
maybe social mother or religious mother or education mother is more neutral 
-- every culture seems to have such a job.
7) 1 is a bluish-purple fruit of species 2 (grape? plum? eggplant?)
8) 1 is a furit tree of species 2 (as above -- scratch eggplant)
