Etymology

From Old Grekelin ὅμω (omo), from Ancient Greek ὅμως (hómōs). Cognate with Modern Greek όμως. The correct form according to the loss of genders in Grekelin would be uma since the ending -a originates from -os. However in this case the -o(s) was preserved as it is not a gendered noun, with the final -s even being preserved in some dialects.
