In a previous work we argued the possibility of the [ital f][sub 1](1420) being our first hybrid meson with the configuration of ([ital u[bar u]]+[ital d[bar d]])[ital g]/ [radical]2 , and gave a preliminary consideration to search for other hybrid mesons. In this paper we calculate respective decay widths of the other members of ground-state hybrid-meson nonets in the framework of the covariant oscillator quark model extended to describe bound systems composed of quarks, antiquarks, and/or gluons. Based upon these results we select eight observed'' candidates altogether, three of them on a rather firm basis, and give some remarks to search further for their candidates experimentally.
