That's correct.

On a similar note, how would a Russian prounouce the US state of "Ohio" which has TWO "o" sounds when spoken by an American; I think it's spelled as "Ogaio" (sorry -- not my computer so no Russian characters available)?
The first "o" sound would be "ah", the second would be "o".

OK, so you will NEVER encounter a word in the Russian language that has two "o" sounds unless it's a combined word? That is, there are NO words that have two "o" sounds just because they are foreign?
