[Game] Word Hunt Diamond - Game 5

[Mi-Amigo]

Hi Word Finders and welcome to the fifth Word Hunt Diamond.

The game is open to all members.

Each week, a grid of nine letters in a diamond will be posted with a target number of words to find using only the letters in the grid.

This week`s "diamond" is as follows:

                                                                          N

                                                                      A      E

                                                                   I      O     J          

                                                                      C      T

                                                                          B

This week`s target is 58 words using only the letters in the diamond.

Each word must contain four letters or more and must include the red letter O.

No proper names are allowed.

Each letter in the grid can only be used once in each word [for example, TOTE wouldn`t be allowed].

Of course, words do not have to start with the red letter O

Only one word per post.

Please wait until someone else has posted before posting again.

There is one nine-letter word using all the letters in the grid. 

Regular updates will be given on each page [so as to avoid scrolling back] of the words found and the number of words still to be found

Last week, nine players - @Cleoriff ; @EmilieT ; @gmarkj ; @pgn ; @jonsie ; @Bambino ; @AnnieM ; @Marjo ; @BobM 

found all 67 target words, and eight of them found an additional 26 words not in the list in the source used in compiling the game.

This game is open to all members.

New members, and those who have not played before, are welcome to join the "regulars" in this week`s Word Hunt Diamond [game 5].

Can you, the members, bust this week`s Word Hunt Diamond and also find additional words?

Good luck everyone

@Cleoriff 

CONTE is correct and in the list

@jonsie 

COATE is not in the list but is noted in some dictionaries as obsolete form of coat, so I`ll allow it as a word not in the list

NOTA

[Cleoriff]

COJAN

[jonsie]

JIAO

[Mi-Amigo]

@jonsie 

NOTA is not in the list.

This is the first time in any game when an acronym has been given. As N.O.T.A. is an acronym [on voting papers] for None Of The Above, and, as there is nothing in the rules prohibiting acronyms [although not in the list],

NOTA will be allowed as a word not in the list - well done for spotting it @jonsie   

@Cleoriff 

COJAN is a Spanish word, so I presume is a typo for CAJON which is not in the list, but is in Merriam Webster dictionary = box canyon, so is allowed as word not in the list.

@jonsie 

JIAO is not in the list but is in dictionaries as a monetary unit of China, so is allowed as word not in the list.

So, still 14 words in the list to find
