1. A letter of the Seneca alphabet.

• o
• o̲

Origin unknown. Possibly:

• To visually enhance o (“and”) to clarify its separation from surrounding letters and words. Confer with English w/, Spanish c/, and Danish m/.
• An abbreviation of och (“and”).
• A continued evolution of & or o., similar to how @ developed from à.

The Language Council of Sweden believes that the first explanation, to visually enhance o (“and”), is most likely the correct one. But also acknowledges that the second explanation, an abbreviation of och (“and”), may have played a part.^[1]
