Plus, that "o" sound literally doesn't exist on its own in most dialects of English. The O in "somatic" is either the dipthong or an "er." You could make a case that the Spanish "e" also doesn't exist on its own, but you seem to be associating it with the e in "bed," something I was cautioned against, but fair enough. Intervocalic Ts becoming Ds is a common feature of American accents; short Os becoming As is about fifty-fifty (and in pretty much all the others it becomes "aw"). I'm not even what you mean by "tewrri."
