Greek term or phrase: πωπός

It's in a list of body parts in a questionnaire about children. I can't find it in any of my dictionaries, or in the (seriously broken) proZ term search. I think I can guess what it means, but I'd rather have confirmation from the good people here.

No problem. I know how it is when it's not your mother tongue and you're trying to figure out which word is the most suitable on each occasion.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks. That's what I thought, of course, but because I didn't grow up speaking Greek I don't really know these "kiddy" words.

Explanation:
is what we called it in the US. Or "tushy" even. In any case it is mostly used in reference to children. You would use "bottom" if you are translating into British English.
