You mean "oeil". And irrelevant, because "oeil" comes from "oculus", so
even if "oc" and "ay" were real, "oeil" would go with "oc" and not "ay",
which just shows that even within your mythological system you've got
your etymology wrong.

Oh, and English "eye" goes back to Old English "éage", and corresponds
to German "Auge", etc. So once again this dichotomy of yours, which
would call for "eye" and "Auge" to descend from two separate words, is
illustory.

OC for the right eye and AY for the left eye allow two
compounds: OC AY and AY OC, surviving in Scottish
och aye and in éage Auge. Use my method of silently
pronouncing (articulating, performing) a word or
compound: ayoc ayoc ayoc ... auog aug Auge ...

No, I will not engage in your pointless, entirely subjective exercise. Recall my likening of it to using a ouija board.
