O The fourteenth letter in the Telugu alphabet, which, prefixed to all vocatives, corresponds with the English interjection oh ; as, ఓరామా orama, Oh Rama ! ఓతల్లి O talli, Oh mother! . The connected form of this vowel (ో ) (O) affixed to the last word of a sentence, or to a single word alone, denotes ignorance or doubt; as నీవోవాడో nivovado, I know not whether it was you, or he. When it is added to the conditional form of the verb ending in తే te, the drutup- rukrutika affix న్ n, intervenes, and నో no, then represents the English phrases but if, on tbe contrary ;as, వర్షము కురియకపోతే జనులునశింతురు వర్షముకురిస్తేనో జనులు సుఖపడుదురు varshamu kuriyakapote janulunasinturu varshamuku- risteno janulu sukhapaduduru, If it does not rain, the people will suffer severely , but if it rains, they will be happy.
