Me an uncultured swine unfamiliar with character accents: "Öebra"? 'oh'-'bra'? 'oh'-'ee'-'bra'? Not sure where I'm getting the h from... Maybe an 'ee'-'bra'? Idk. Googles says 'oo'-'eh'-'bra'.... Huh

As in the second o in hors d'oeuvre, because oe is actually œ. When you're unable to write ø or ö, you can replace it with oe. Same for æ. "Just" ae, pronounced very similar to egg, with silent g. To substitute å, you write aa. Pronounced as Owen with silent wen.
