I would find that extremely difficult to distinguish from 'o'.
I'm assuming that the Txeqli 'o' is not rounded into 'ou' as the English
'o' is.

While we're on the topic of pronunciation, I have a couple of
suggestions for 'c'.

The first would just be to make it [x]. It's really not that bad, and
lots of languages have that sound.

But another suggestion: make it 'th', and allow it to be either voiced
or unvoiced as the speaker prefers.

I would also suggest that Txeqli's generally nice morphology should not
be messed up with digraphs, or with single letters representing
clusters.
