The context is important too. If it says, for example, "ro acres and a mule," then it is a pretty good bet that ro is 40.

Hi Lisa, I have encountered this particular scannow in lots of nonfiction. In many cases, the letters "ro" turn out to be "10." But not always. The number 4 is also commonly recognized as an "r."
