Creation and Usage Notes

I specifically made the sound changes work the way they did to get this pronoun. How brash to refer to someone as o! I loved the idea. Reminded me of the first time I saw the soundtrack to Cirque du Soleil's O. I was like, "How DARE you! I LOVE it!" Of course this isn't even the boldest form this one takes. That honor goes to oo.
