Obe
"...alternatively, if you are driven by a different sort of fire. just pick obe..."

So, yes, I pick obe. It was a choice offered, by you, disguised without a cardinal number, and I cannot resist. You are so correct, sir: first, you should always use cardinals.
More succulent than pearly ovules, obes are as discreet as they are sweet. I have several in my mouth as I speak, articulately, because they augment fricatives, only so slide out unannounced and unexpected; they throttle plosives and then marry the two to join their affricates in ambient affirmation. Simply sibilant, yet strenuously strident.
Without the humble, understated obe, we would all be pantomiming, and we all know how bad that sounds. Religions would fall as the cacophony rose to obsolescence. It would be glorious, but insignificant in the grand scheme of tings. Can I get an "Omen!"?
