This spelling list includes the most common base words ending in the phonogram OY. Each of these words also follows the spelling rule: English words do not end in I. The phonogram OY is used in place of the phonogram OI at the end of the word. 1  ahoy. 2  alloy. 3  annoy.  boy.
The expression is often abbreviated to simply oy, or elongated to oy vey ist mir (Oh, woe is me). The fuller lament may also be spelled as Oy vey iz mir. The main purpose or effect of elongating it is often dramatic, something like a cosmic ouch.he Latin equivalent is heu, vae! (pronounced, hoi, vai, amongst others); a more standard expression would be o, me miserum, or heu, me miserum. According to Chabad.org, an alternative theory for the origin of the Yiddish expression is that oy stems from Biblical Hebrew, and that vey is its Aramaic equivalent.
