lo

Meanings

1. 1
   intj

   archaic or literary: used to call attention to something surprising or important

   Lo, a second ship appeared beyond the headland just before dawn.

From Middle English lo, which blended an older exclamation with forms of the imperative look. It was used to direct a listener's attention, much like behold, and now survives chiefly in biblical, archaic, humorous, and deliberately dramatic language.
