Sadducees: Saðverji (A sect or group of Jews that were active in Ancient Israel. Sounds to radical a reductive adaptation, it rhymes on Naðverji (Nazarene, from Nazareth), so I thought Saðverji is possible in this case because it's resemblance to Naðverji places it into the sphere of Biblical terminology.
Ainu
1) Einverji ( original inhabitants of Japan, a linguisticly isolate (the prefix Ein- in Einverji expresses this while creating a phonetical resemblance people like the Basques. The Ritmálssafn orðabókar háskólans mentions 'einverji' as occuring one time in 19th centruy Icelandic literature, so I guess it is quite obsolete so there will be no danger of connotation.)
2) Morguneyjabaski ('Basques of the land of the Morning sun'. Here the word Basque is used in the extended meaning of 'language isolate community)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_isolate
3) Andbaski: (Basques live, on the same degree of latitute as the Ainus in the Far East on the Western coast of the Eurasian mainland, so we can apply the prefix And- in the sense 'at the other side', not in the sense of Antipodal (Andfætlings-), which refers to the opposite side of earth if you drill a hole through the earth underneath your feet, but more in the sense of 'At the other side of a particular landmass'. An example of this is my neoexonym 'Andeldland' (literally Anti-Tierra-del-Fuego, Alaska), which lies at the other end of the Panamerican landmass if you follow the continent's back-bone up north along the Andes over the Mexican land-bridge toward the Rockies until you finally end up in the Northwesternmost part of America.
Croatian: Kraftverji (The French 'cravate' is derived from the word 'Croatian', so why can't we use the naturally Icelandic sequence of characters Kraft-?)
Cambodian: Kambverji
Sherpa (Nepalese people): Skarpverjar
Máverji: Maori
Draftverji: Dravidian
Tamlverji: Tamil
Sumverji: Sumerian
Semverji or Semjungur: Semite (Descendants of Sem)
