So, as a bonus, I have added some more constraints. Same rules as before. 8 7...

Well, it's about time for another hint. Would you like the next hint to be whether or not the word you're looking for is in that list? Or shall I give another letter? Or something else?
 
11:30 PM
No one here with a strong preference? OK, then I'll give another letter.
C4 hints so far: P-N-A-----, and the word you're looking for is a very obscure one.

never-before-seen
is it PINEAPPLES?
 
Astonishingly, it is not PINEAPPLES.
 
pentaptote -- Pen"tap*tote, n. Etym: [L. (pl.) pentaptota. Gr. Penta-) + (Gram.) Defn: A noun having five cases. APT = fit, TOTE = bag
can PEN = fold?
 
yeah
"sheepfold"
 
so PEN+T(APT)OTE, but "having 5 cases" isn't nearly the same as "lacking a case"
oh, unless nouns usually have 6 cases
@GarethMcCaughan as we are all familiar, the typical English noun has six cases (nobody tell him I'm bluffing)
maybe substitute "Latin" for English
