Talk about anything. But just don't apply or put to work our Roman script's 5th graphic symbol.
(Our OP subj*ct's 'rubric' and this first post comply).
What do you omit - just drop the "popular" glyph?
Can you actually do that - for a full paragraph? No way!
Although - I know of a book: "A Void" by Mr Adair - the original author is from Paris I think. It was put into words of this, our own lingo by a bit of crafty work from Mr Adair (a translator). Truly a fascinating linguistic stunt.
You should look it up.

But wait!
Oh no!
Say it ain't so.
Alas... which "popular glyph"? Which "original author" from Paris?

No.
Sorry - I can't say who the original author was. The book is around I think, but I can't find it. My bad.
The glyph? Wasn't it midway of 'D' and 'F' - your ruling, you should know?

Not validating my own posts .. tsk tsk.
Still, what brought you to start this?
Tight linguistic constraints such as this can start you thinking hard about words and how to construct groups of words into satisfactory and valid forms - trying not to drop anything, but still dropping that most common thing.
I'm a fan.

What brought this about was that famous and unusual book "Gadsby" which did this difficult thing throughout.
I had in mind a contrasting book ("A Void" as said a bit ago).
Was that (your Gadsby) a first do you think?
How many also did try to drop things for a full books-worth?
Funny how things work out isn't it?

Why triluminar, you ask?
It is a brightly burning inspiration, it pays back our light but shining aspiration, and it fashions skillful and illuminating invention.
3 words with 'tails'... tion, tion, tion... or 'shun, shun, shun' ...words that sound similar to a corruption (of its actual sound) of this word: S ... H ... I ... N ... tailed with our taboo Roman script's fifth huruf as Malays say - that is to say 'a bright quality or shooting off rays of light'.
A light ~ two lights ~ an additional light (making 3): thus it is triluminar.
