Explanation: This is the genitive plural form of the noun 'ΠΑΙΣ' (pais), which means 'child', 'boy', 'servant', or 'slave'. The final 'ἠ' is a coronis, indicating an elision, meaning the word was originally 'ΠΑΙΔΩΝ' followed by a word starting with a vowel, and the initial vowel of the following word has been removed. It is used to indicate possession or relationship, similar to 'of children' in English.
