Sadly that doesn't shed much light on the "o" pronunciation, because there are several ways to pronounce them in Gaelic and they can vary by region. I've heard "o" being more like an "a" such as the word ceol pronounced more or less like the cal in California. Pronouncing the "o" that way would make Lodair sound like English ladder.
