the 'th' almost sounds like a artifact of the recording rather than part of the word itself.
In the google if you erase all the letters except the 'o' it does not pronounce it at all.
I studied Attic Greek in college and the pronunciation for omicron was "uh" as in 'but', unless at the beginning of a word where the rough breathing mark gave an h sound to a vowel. ho, he, ha
Oasis has a soft breathing mark, so no 'h' sound.
I haven't studied modern Greek, so I can't say if there's been a vowel shift.
