Actually, while "taw" is used by most if not all GLOs, most dictionaries seem to give either pronunciation as correct. From what I can tell, "tow" (like "towel") rather than "taw" (like "paw")is the correct pronunciation in Classical and Koine Greek, and in modern Greek it is pronounced either 'tow" or "daf." (Go figure that last one.)
FWIW.
