by subglacial waters. The osar are similar to the kames of
Scotland and the eschars of Ireland. See Eschar. O
O O ([=o]).
1. O, the fifteenth letter of the English alphabet, derives
its form, value, and name from the Greek O, through the
Latin. The letter came into the Greek from the
Ph[oe]nician, which possibly derived it ultimately from
the Egyptian. Etymologically, the letter o is most closely
related to a, e, and u; as in E. bone, AS. b[=a]n; E.
stone, AS. st[=a]n; E. broke, AS. brecan to break; E.
bore, AS. beran to bear; E. dove, AS. d[=u]fe; E. toft,
tuft; tone, tune; number, F. nombre. The letter o has
several vowel sounds, the principal of which are its long
sound, as in bone, its short sound, as in nod, and the
sounds heard in the words orb, son, do (feod), and wolf
(book). In connection with the other vowels it forms
several digraphs and diphthongs. See Guide to
Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 107-129.
2. Among the ancients, O was a mark of triple time, from the
notion that the ternary, or number 3, is the most perfect
of numbers, and properly expressed by a circle, the most
perfect figure. O was also anciently used to represent 11:
with a dash over it ([=O]), 11,000.
OO O ([=o]), a. [See One.]
One. [Obs.] --Chaucer. ``Alle thre but o God.' --Piers
Plowman.
