Scandinavian cry of enthusiasm? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scandinavian cry' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'of enthusiasm?' is the wordplay.
'of' becomes 'o''.
'enthusiasm?' becomes 'le' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'le'='OLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ole that I've seen before include "Hooray in Spain" , "(In Spain) bravo!" , "Spanish shout of triumph" , "Hurray in Spain" , "Madrid exclamation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
