O

The letter O.



The letter O is a vowel. It has a long value [o] (or [oʊ]) as in "boat" written as ō; bōt. The short value is [ɒ] as in "pot"; pot. There is an assimilated one (often there is a distinction in certain dialects but I'll leave it alone for now). It is [ɔ] as in "for". A diacritic...has not yet been assigned.



The name of O is its long value, [oʊ], ō.
