[O]: rounded low-mid back vowel ('turned c' in IPA), the 'o' in French "port".
[Q]: rounded low back vowel ('turned script a' in IPA), a rounded version of
[A].
Quite different sounds in my opinion, though I can understand they can be
confused. After all, it took me 15 years to understand the difference between
IPA 'ae-ligature' and a simple [a].
