I haven't the faintest idea what you're trying to say with the first sentence. :) What is that τω?

Perhaps you could give us the English of what you're aiming at?
nor the iota subsript...
Then just use normal iota.

And where is the neuter which which 'twi' agrees (I'm at school, so I'm sticking with transliteration). The only dative I see with which it can agree is meshi thalatthi, which is feminine.
