[ ... -o ... ] is not portable.  POSIX says you must break it into:
[ ... ] || [ ... ]

or, more efficiently for this particular filtering, rewrite this as:

# munge reserved words
case $arg in
  limit | in | next ) arg=_$arg ;;
esac

and using case makes it easier to add more reserved words:

case $arg in
  limit | in | next | self ) arg=_$arg ;;
esac
