Since I've never heard an ancient greek talk, the question that its "pedo" or "peedo" or "paedo" is not going to be answered.
It's both. Pædo-, pedo-, pädo-... Same thing, just transcribed from Greek differently.
The English language is to blame for any confusion, being the only (AFAIK) language that can pronounce the "E" of the Roman alphabet with an "I" sound (e.g. "legal").
While I'm at it, bashing your language, someone asked how Euouae should be pronounced. Why, "euouae" of course!
No English diphtongs and mutations (i.e., not as in "ee-yu-ou-yu-ay-ee").
It's a word derived from Latin (shouldn't that be pronounced "laytin" BTW, if English were consistent?). You silly Engglish knigghts.
Greek members, do you write p[æ|e]do- with an Epsilon or an Eta, or what?
