Many authors write in Esperanto.

The is one syllable, a diphthong, so the word is in three beats and not four. Meaning-wise, is tied to a particular work: you are the author of something. o is the trade, someone who writes for a living whether or not you have any given book of theirs in hand. The base form covers writers of either sex and o is available when the distinction matters, though plain is the modern default. o is authorship, the fact of having written the thing.
