Greek omega |
Ω
(ω) |
|
Omega ... is the 24th and last
letter of the Greek alphabet. In
the Greek numeric system, it has
a value of 800. The word
literally means 'great O' (ō
mega, mega meaning 'great'), as
opposed to omicron, which means
'little O' (o mikron, micron
meaning 'little') ...
The form of the uppercase letter
derives from that of an omicron
(Ο) broken up at the side ...
with the edges subsequently
turned outward
The modern lowercase shape goes
back to the uncial form
a
form that developed during the
3rd century BC in ancient
handwriting on papyrus, from a
flattened-out form of the letter
... that had its edges curved
even further upward
Possibly, I think, this
flattened out form alluded to
the high sky 'carapace' in
summer. As to the 'broken up
omikron' it could have been
turned at is side as an allusion
to the orientation of the Gemini
pair. The uncial form could
reflect a pair of twins joined
together (at the star
ω
Gemini).
