Obelos

I'm not in the process of learning Greek (yet!!) but would someone out there be kind enough to tell me how one would write "obelos" in Greek characters?

Thank you very much,
Bill

ὄβελος

*Or*

ὤβελος

Since I don't know where the accent should fall, I treated it as regressive.

Thanks so much. I'm certainly not in a position to judge either, but I'll go with the first one.

Liddell has ὀβελός with the accent on the ultima.

Thank you very much. That should do perfectly for what I want.
I appreciate the effort.
