Quotation
Ὠμόν· ... ἢ ὡς Φιλόξενος ὠμὸν εἰρῆσθαί φησι τὸ ἐν ταυτότητι μένον· παρὰ τὸ ὦ, τὸ ὑπάρχω, οἷον τὸ ἐν ταυτότητι μένον καὶ μὴ μεταβληθέν.
Translation (En)
Ōmon "raw" : ...or, as Philoxenus says, is called ōmos that which is steady in its identity ; from *ō, "to be", as that which is steady in its identity and has not changed.
Other translation(s)
Ōmon « cru » : ...ou bien, comme dit Philoxène, on appelle ōmos ce qui demeure stable dans son identité; de *ō, « être », comme ce qui reste stable dans son identité et n’a pas changé.

Comment
Derivational etymology. The etymon is the (ghost) thematic counterpart of εἰμί. What is raw was not altered by any process, and is therefore in its natural state of being.
