Ὦ
Ō
Omega
The Greek interjection 'Ω' functions as a vocative particle, used to address, call attention to, or signal direct speech to a person, group, or entity. It does not carry lexical meaning on its own, but serves as an expressive exclamatory particle introducing direct address, often conveying a sense of emotion or heightened emphasis, such as urgency, reverence, affection, surprise, or lament. The semantic range is limited to its use in direct address, typically at the beginning of a vocative phrase.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
Omega, the last letter
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'the' is incorrect for the interjection 'Ὦ', which is vocative, but here it is conventionally used for 'Omega, the last letter' in the context of this phrase; SILEX states its function is to call attention. Context demands 'Omega, the last letter' to parallel 'Alpha, the first letter'. |
