Omega_Krogan I am using it like Omega the Greek Alphabet >.> So yeah /facepalm But WHAT does that even mean!? I studied New Testament Greek for a year at College and did two-thirds of the possible units you can do on it, and even I don't know what you're trying to get at.

The hint is in the first letter.
It's an 'O' sound, as in 'oh', it's simply the end of the alphabet as well, hence the idea of Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End.
First line of the Lord's prayer in transliterated greek for you!
Pater (h)emun (h)o en tois ouranois. Father of us in the heavens (IT'S PLURAL IN THE GREEK =O, contextually accurate to their world understanding back then )
If I break that sentence into the individual letters:
Pi Alpha Tau Epsilon Rho - Eta Mu Upsilon Nu - Omicron - Epsilon Nu - Tau Omicron Iota Sigma - Omicron Upsilon Rho Alpha Nu Omicron Iota Sigma
The (h) is a rough breathing that makes the 'h' sound like in 'he' and not an actual letter.

... I'm pretty sure he's just trying to use it as "Omega". Look at his name, tells a lot right there.
I'm pretty sure the deeper meaning of Omega has something to do with infinity. Can't remember exactly. Kind of annoying how those are not only letters, but words as well.
Auggie! Sing the alphabet song in Greek!

Can't remember exactly. Kind of annoying how those are not only letters, but words as well. Auggie! Sing the alphabet song in Greek! Omega (the last letter of the Greek alphabet) is often used to denote the last, the end, or the ultimate limit of a set, in contrast to Alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet.
Example: In the New Testament book of Revelation, God is declared to be the "alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last".
...it also has many other meaning when used in math and Science. I know for example, that it denotes a specific carbon atom on fatty acid chains (namely the one furthest from the carboxyl group), and it has other associations with RNA Polymerase and some other genetics.

Cobra! C:
I have no idea what you just said in that last sentence, but that's cool anyway!
If I remember correctly, I think I used Omega in one of my Geometry equations.
