In Goodrich's Greek Grammar 5th Edition 1831 p. [page] 15
I find the following rule for the gender of Greek nouns
in the third declension. The following are masculine
those ending in ειρ ηρ, υρ ην ως (ωτυς and ωος) ους ης.
There are 7 exceptions to this rule
φως light the only exception I find with ω omega.
