Did the ancient Hebrew alphabet contain letter o?

The ancient Hebrew alphabet did not have a letter equivalent to the modern English letter "o." The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, and none of them represent the "o" sound. Instead, the Hebrew alphabet has a letter called "vav" (ו) that can represent the "o" sound in certain contexts. For example, the Hebrew word for "boy" is נער (na'ar), where the vav represents the "o" sound. However, the vav can also represent other sounds, such as "u" or "v," depending on the context.
