How 'OK' took over the world (2011)
It's used in Denmark, but "k" is pronounced "ko" (like co in co-working) here, so they, especially older ones, say "oh-ko!"

"Oh-ko" makes the vowels long, but the vowels should be short, almost clipped.
In IPA notation "ko" would be /kʰɔ/, I think.

You're looking for brackets, not slashes, since you're giving a phonetic discription, not a phonemic one.
