As for Italian, "TO" was short for "Torino" (the city of Turin) on car plates until 
some years ago; it is un-commonly used as "take this" when you give something (a dish, 
a slap on the face); finally, it is an interjection of surprise, spelled "to'" or 
"toh", used for example when you see someone you didn't expect to see or you haven't 
seen for a long time.

Yeah, I think 11to149 is OK for Italians, too. :-)))
