[*] 133. No consonant except ν, ρ, or ς (including ξ and ψ) can stand at the end of a Greek word. All other consonants are dropped.

a. Exceptions are the proclitics (179) ἐκ out of, derived from ἐξ (cp. 104, 136), and οὐκ not, of which οὐ is another form (137).

c. An original final m preceded by a vowel becomes ν, cp. ἵππον with Lat. equum. So ἕν one from ἑμ (349 a), Lat. sem-el, ἅμα once.
