Here's the classical Greek, followed by transliteration, followed by English translation:
σπέρμα - sperma - seed
αδελφούς (note stress) - adelfous - brothers (accusative plural of ο αδελφός)
παίδας - paidas - children (accusative plural of ο/η παις, gen. παιδός)
νύμφας - nymfas - bride, young married woman; nymph (accusative plural of η νύμφη)
γυναίκας (note stress) - gynaikas - woman (accusative plural of η γυνή, gen. γυναικός)
Hope this helps,
Greg Brush

Note:
adelfous can also be transliterated adelphous
nymfas can also be transliterated nymphas
