"Blow high" gets really close to the Swedish pronunciation. Or at least the closest that you can get in English.

(English hates long monophthongs so you can't get the same vowel as that [o:] represented by ⟨å⟩ in Swedish. "Blow" has [əʊ̯] or [oʊ̯] depending on the dialect.)

Thanks for the info and linking the pronunciation!
