List as many five-letter words as you can make from the letters of the word below. Do not use any letter more than once per word.

Three words jumped out at me, so I'll start.

1. GRIFT

2. GRATE

3. TIGER

I've got another; 'rete' is an anatomy term, for a bundle of interconnected blood vessels. Its plural is:

10. RETIA

Here's one more that I'd think would have been seen:

11. GRAFT

and another, the plural of tergum, part of an arthropod:
12. TERGA

And another I've actually heard of, an Arabic demon:
13. AFRIT
