Some words that have O followed by N, V, TH, and more rarely M, R, or Z will have the "uh" sound.

N : honey, money, monk, sponge, son, ton, won

V : above, coven, covet, governor, love, oven, shove

TH : brother, mother, nothing, onion, other

M : stomach

R : worry

Z : dozen

(Words like domestic have an unstressed uh sound called a schwa.)
