I have the same sense of "abbot" as you (velvet bag, quarter full of sand), a very tactile kind of thing.
And I have a long history of playing with languages (both natural and constructed).
Having established my bona fides, I offer you shorbd. It has that soothing, voiceless, sibiliant beginning with the solid weight of a cluster of voiced stops at the end, which creates a title that doesn't easily blur into the name that followes (aside: many people here my name, when others introduce me, and conclude my first name is "Lorren." When I say it, I add the extra juncture between first and last names).
If you choose not to use shorbd I'll probably slap it into play somewhere myself.
