. . . for you to disregard. Discovered during my Brownian movement among the vast fields of knowledge. To wit, a word comprising three vowels followed by a consonant. Possibly unique.
Tune in next week.

Is it the British spelling for a really, really long time? Used with Flux in the title of a movie?

Excellent, my friend! But not what I was thinking of. There goes my ‘unique’. And Mom always said I was special . . . .

And looking at the OED, it’s not the only aeo- entry.
A few for aio- as well.
And one -Old English - for oai-. And oei- Oy gevalt!
Perhaps we should drop the whole thing. But I’ll still reveal the word I had.
What the hell . . . I saw ‘ooid’.

Retiring from the field in shame now.
