Feb 14, 2021 at 21:31 comment added tchrist Thanks for your allophone discussion. I've added IPA transcriptions to the original question, because this is essentially impossible to discuss without it given how very many sounds orthographic "o" can make in various regional forms of English, ranging over [əʊ], [oʊ], [o], [ɔ], [ɒ], [ɑ], or [ə], plus weird cases like the notorious surprise where "o" is /ʊ/ in singular woman versus how "o" becomes /ɪ/ in plural women. Spanish is so much easier in this regard. :)
