Conjunction وَ (and)

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ (And O my people!) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Vocative يا (O!)

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ (And O my people!) uses the vocative — it's calling out to someone or addressing them directly.

We add "O" before the name — "O And O my people!!"
