Speaking of... I'm confused a little as to how we go from αιώνας to aeon. Can anybody explain why the iota becomes an e in English? In Modern Greek it means century. In Ancient Greek probably something similar but like vague so like "big amount of time".

To be clear it always goes from iota to e, it's not just specific to this word. BUT epsilon always becomes e in English. So αέρας is aero.

I think it's the primacy of how things sound maybe? Does English have -ai-?

But that doesn't sound like the ai from Greek aion right? (Sorry no Greek keyboard here)

Ancient Greek was tonal and bonkers. Can't help you there.
