No. It is either an abbreviation for ounce, or a proper noun (Land of Oz, Australia, people's names). Therefore it does not qualify.

What does 'Oz was borne' mean?

The word 'born' is the past participle of the word 'to bear' in its meaning as 'to give birth'. The word 'borne' is the past participle of the word 'to bear' in its meaning as 'to be carried, moved around, supported'. In this sense, the sentence 'Oz was borne' therefore means Oz was carried. So the reference is more likely in regard to the Wizard of Oz than to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz or to the actual land of Australia.
