This spelling list includes the most common base words ending in the phonogram OY. Each of these words also follows the spelling rule: English words do not end in I. The phonogram OY is used in place of the phonogram OI at the end of the word. 1  ahoy. 2  alloy. 3  annoy.  boy.
Well, to me, the 'oy' is plausible enough to be included, as a note at least, but the 'avoy' is definitely too much of a stretch. There are no sources indicating that oy avoy was ever used as a phrase prior to the Yiddish oy vey, and there are no sources indicating an evolution of the word avoy to vey. Since weh is the commonly accepted origin, we should just go with that.
