> which is in fact related to the harmonic mean (which is n times the o-plus of the terms). I don't know if there's a better term for "o-plus" other than "reciprocal sum of reciprocals"

I would call it the "harmonic norm", which is consistent with is being the "norm version" of the harmonic mean. It might also be called the "(p=-1) norm" since it would be a p-norm with p=-1. Also "L-1 norm" to put it in the "L norm" family.
