o ye

The phrase "o ye" is an archaic form of addressing multiple people that originated in Middle English. It combines the interjection "o" (used to express surprise, emotion, or emphasis) with the pronoun "ye" (an old second-person plural pronoun, equivalent to "you all" or "you plural"). Therefore, "o ye" is a way to get the attention or express enthusiasm towards a group of individuals. It is not commonly used in modern English but can be found in literature or older texts.
