o y u (or and or)

Question

In Spanish, the word 'or' is represented as 'o', with the exception of cases where the following letter starts with 'o' or 'ho' (including accented forms like 'ó' or 'hó'). Numbers also follow this rule if they start with \$8\$ or are exactly \$11\$, because all numbers that start with \$8\$ in Spanish starts with "och", like ocho (8), ochenta (80), ochocientos (800), etc, so these words start with 'o' and the number \$11\$ in Spanish is once, which starts with 'o'. The 'H' in Spanish isn't pronounced, so the "u" is used before the words that start with "Ho" with or without accent.

Examples:

Quiero unos 3 o 4 panqueques.

Quiero unos 7 u 8 panqueques.

¿Comió 34 panqueques, Octavio o Manuel?

¿Comió 78 panqueques, Manuel u Octavio?

Task

Your task is to choose "o" or "u" depending on the string (see below), that may contain alphanumeric characters, including these characters: ÁÉÍÓÚáéíóúüÑñ (You may ignore these characters if your (programming) language doesn't support them, but instead use other characters of your choice (must be 13 characters long, including 2 characters that represent as "o", but these characters are obligatory if your language supports it)) in the shortest way, because this is code-golf. The characters of the strings can be uppercased even if they're not the first character of the string. Strings don't start with double "h" nor contain both numbers and letters. Also, if the string is a number, it's assumed to be less than 10999.

Output "o" if it meets one of the criteria below:

The string is a number, but it doesn't start with \$8\$, or isn't the number \$11\$
The string doesn't start with "o", "ó", "O" or "Ó"
The string doesn't start with "ho", "Ho", "hO", "HO", "hó", "Hó", "hÓ" or "HÓ" (sorry).

Output "u" if it doesn't meet a criterion above.

@LuisMendo 1) Yeah, I'm used to saying "panqueques" :-D 2) I added the explanation for that grammar rule, thank you. 3) That's my mistake, I added stress and added a testcase that starts with "o". Sorry. — Fmbalbuena, Commented Jul 10 at 22:36

@chtz I'm not going to handle this, because it's too big. only numbers less than 11000 are supported. — Fmbalbuena, Commented Jul 11 at 20:23
@terdon No, that's too complex, only simple inputs are supported. Read the challenge to know which to handle. — Fmbalbuena, Commented Jul 12 at 12:46

Mi`^11$|^h?[8oó]

Count the number of occurrences of the pattern in the input.

T`d`\ou

Index that into the string ou. (o is magic in transliteration mode so it needs to be quoted to be literal. d is also magic, being a byte shorter than writing 01.)

s->s.matches("(?i)11|(8|h?[oó]).*")?'u':'o'

Try it online.

Explanation:

s->     // Method with String parameter and character return-type
  s.matches("(?i)11|(8|h?[oó]).*")?
        //  If the String matches the full regex explained below:
    'u' //   Return 'u'
   :    //  Else:
    'o' //   Return 'o' instead

Regex explanation:

The String#matches method implicitly matches the entire String, adding a leading ^ and trailing $.

(?i)^11|(8|h?[oó]).*$
(?i)                    # Enable case-insensitive matching
    ^               $   # Match the entire string
     11                 #   It's "11"
       |                #  OR:
         8              #    It starts with an "8"
        ( |      )      #   or
           h?           #    An optional "h"
             [oó]       #    Followed by either "o" or "ó"

Thanks to almost the same syntax, the regex is gratefully copypasted from the Arnauld's answer :D

(The following comment refers to the previous 41-byte version)

What I like here, is how three question marks appear together (alas, a space cannot be removed), each one having a different role: the first one is a part of the boolean expression that checks whether a value is nil, the second one belongs to the ternary operator and the last one is a shortcut for 'o'.
