Hi everybody, I apologize if this question has already been asked, but couldn't find it... How should one pronounce the combination of the お prefix with a word beginning with う (for example, お生まれ (になる) ? Are they distinct as in う or fused together into a long о̄? My guess would be that they stay distinct.

Thanks.
 
Bit of a related question: I've found the form 喘いで and I was wondering: is it a long /e/ or two disinct vowels?
