If you mean 1) babathes 2) mamathes, then it is 1) daddies, 2) mommies. |

The words, as you write them, are the words for 'grandma' and 'mama'.
The form as you write it implies possession by the speaker. The phrase is incomplete. Example.
Η Βαβά της Ελένης - Helen's Grandmother. the 'της' is equivalent to the possesive 's (Helen's).
The same for the second phrase. Μαμά της Ελένης =
Helen's mother.
I hope I'm clear enough.
