A good question.
A few centuries later, Coptic mixes the Greek <y> with short <e>
(= epsilon) in loanwords. Which seems to reflect a feature of the Greek
dialect of Egypt.
In Mo:y"se:s the <o:y"> didn't form a diphthong, at any rate, as
evidenced by the borrowings from Greek into nearly all other languages.
Which is important since Greek did have the diphthong <o:u> in its
inventory.

That is, without a vov? Sorry for my ignorance...

Any other examples, BTW?
What stands in Hebrew for the Greek <o:> in Io:nas, Io:se:ph, Abessalo:m,
etc.?
