It is actually daimwn (with an omega. At least in modern Greek) but if I keep going on I will probably daimwnize everyone on this list.
I thought the omega was a constraction of two 'oo's originally, which would translate to 'oo' at least in Dutch.
i think that the transcription of old greek to latin letters is more or less standardized and both omicron and omega are transcribed to a single `o' when writing (at least in german) but omicron is pronounced with a short `o' and `omega' with a long `oooo'. anyway... :-) thilo
