Perhaps, but I wasn't providing a definition of the Greek word -- I was providing a definition of the word in English. English didn't adopt the omikron.

In its latest quarter, the software giant recorded $2.0 billion in net income on $4.9 billion in revenue. That's a return of 40.2 cents on every dollar of sal= es. After expenses. After taxes. By way of comparison, the average return o= n revenue for all the companies in the 1998 Fortune 500 was 4.9 cents on th= e dollar. If software were really all that competitive, Microsoft would no= t reap profits 8 times that of the rest of industry." -- Tom Steinert-Threlkeld, Editor-in-Chief of Interactive Week, 2/1/99
