In the new Syriac module it appears that "zqapha" is transliterated as an "o" vowel. Shouldn't this be an "a" vowel?

The SEDRA database on which the PESHNT-T module is based vocalizes the a-class zqapha as /o/ (cf. T. Nöldeke's Compendious Syriac Grammar, §9; W. M. Thackston's Introduction to Syriac, p. xxi, among others).In the new Syriac module it appears that "zqapha" is transliterated as an "o" vowel. Shouldn't this be an "a" vowel?
Incidentally, I believe this also explains why you sometimes see Peshitto instead of the more common Peshitta.
