In the other Testament 2 words

παιδίον paidíon · G3813 · child, offspring: Greek παιδίον (paidíon, G3813) serves as the standard LXX rendering of Hebrew יֶלֶד (yeled, H3206), both denoting a young child or infant with essentially equivalent semantic range across the age spectrum from infancy through early youth.
παιδάριον paidárion · G3808 · child: παιδάριον (paidárion, G3808) παιδάριον is a diminutive form specifically denoting a small or young boy, representing a narrower register within יֶלֶד (yeled, H3206) יֶלֶד's broader semantic range (which includes child, son, young man, and fruit metaphorically); the Greek term focuses on the littleness/youth aspect rather than the full age spectrum יֶלֶד (yeled, H3206) covers.
