Omega
Omega (; capital: Ω, lowercase: ω; Ancient Greek ὦ, later ὦ μέγα, Modern Greek ωμέγα) is the 24th and last letter in the Greek alphabet.

The word literally means "great O" (''ō mega'', mega meaning "great"), as opposed to omicron, which means "little O" (''o mikron'', micron meaning "little"). In phonetic terms, the Ancient Greek Ω is a long open-mid ''o'' , comparable to the "aw" of the English word ''raw''. In Modern Greek, Ω represents the mid back rounded vowel , the same sound as omicron. The letter omega is transcribed ''ō'' or simply ''o''.
