O or Oh (majuscule: Օ, minuscule: օ, Armenian: օ) is the 38th letter of the reformed Armenian alphabet and the 37th letter of the classical Armenian alphabet. This letter was first noticed in a text from the year 1046 at the word փափագանօք (p'ap'aganok', longing).[1]
Unlike many Armenian letters, O has no numeric value.[2] It represents the open-mid back rounded vowel /ɔ/ in both Eastern and Western Armenian.[3]
