Is oh an example of onomatopoeia?

No, "oh" is not an example of onomatopoeia.

Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what it represents. Examples include:

* Buzz (bee)

* Meow (cat)

* Sizzle (frying)

* Bang (explosion)

"Oh" is an interjection, a word that expresses a strong emotion or feeling. It doesn't directly imitate a sound.
