This error seems to indicate that there is no *-oy+* models in the model set.
To generate an unseen model, HTK searches a model whose center phoneme is equal to that of the unseen model to specify 
its model topology (#states, etc.) and associate its transition probability matrix.
Please check your full.list (not full_all.list) whether it includes any *-oy+* models.
If your full.list contains any *-oy+* models, this may be a bug of the HTS implementation.
