Usage notes

 * Spelling: In accordance with Georgios Hatzidakis and Manolis Triantafyllidis, Babiniotis considers αβγό the correct spelling:
 * The ‑β‑ in the word originated from phonetic development and there is no justification for writing it with the diphthong ‑αυ‑, as though it has always existed in the word.
 * The spelling is found in other dictionaries. (Similarly:  ~ ).
