o [oh]

the sixteenth letter in the Spanish alphabet is pronounced like the English o in cone.O, in arithmetic, serves for naught or cipher; it is also used as a circle, of which there is no end, and therefore emblematic of eternity.O, in sea-charts, signifies west; Oeste. The seven anthema sung in the church, the seven days before the nativity of our Lord, are called OO, because they all commence with this letter.
