1 Ω
Ω, ὦ, τό, twenty-fourth and last letter of the Ionic alphabet,Aἀπὸ ἄλφα ἕως.ω. Gloss.iii 283
(ix A. D.); thence used as a symbol of the end, the last, ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ ἄλφα καὶ τὸ ὦ (not τὸ ὦ μέγα) Apoc.1.8, al.:—as a numeral ώ = 800, but ωνυμ = 800, 000. The epichoric [dialect] Att. and other alphabets of the Inscrr. had used o in differently to represent the sounds of the later ο and ω : Ω is a differentiated form of ο, and, though usu. = ω, was used in the Ionic islands of Paros, Thasos, and Siphnos with the value ο, while O or O represented the sound ω. The name of the letter was τὸ ὦ (perispom. acc. to Hellad. ap. Phot.p.530B.), cf. Achae.33.3, Pl.Phdr. 244d, Cra. 420b, Tht. 203c: after the loss of the distinction betw. long and short vowels, ο and ω had the same pronunciation; they begin to be confused in Papyri of iii B. C. (οἰκωνόμου PRev.Laws 50.22
(iii B. C.)), but the name ω μέγα appears first in later Greek, Theognost.Can. 13;κατὰ σχῆμα διπλοῦ ω ¯ ἤτοι μεγάλου Eust.869.26
;οἱ δὲ περὶ Ἀρίσταρχον αὐτὸ τὸ ποτήριον ω ¯ μέγα εἶναί φασιν, ὁποῖν ἴσως τὸ κατὰ δύο ῡ ἐσχηματισμένον Id.869.29
; ἐν τῷ ω ¯ μεγάλῳ under omega (in a lexicon), Id.1828.49:διὰ τοῠ ω ¯ μεγάλου Hdn.Epim. 208
