Hi!
Greek Cypriots may pronounce Greek in the repulsive manner that you perhaps know, but the language (grammar, syntax and vocabulary) is the same, it is just Greek - where mwro (μωρό) means "stupid" and also "baby". |

thank you very much George. I have, also, been told that it means more "kid" or "person" rather than baby |

No. In slang may mean "babe" in the way we say for a pretty girl that she is a "babe", otherwise it means (literally) the stupid, and also the newborn children until they are let's say 2 years old (you wouldn't call a baby a 5 years old child). |
