→ English: kore, korephilia

→ Finnish: kore

From Proto-Hellenic *kórwā, whence also Mycenaean Greek 𐀒𐀷 (ko-wa). In this word, ᾱ (ā) shifted to η (ē) in Attic (see Attic–Ionic vowel shift on Wikipedia) because of the preceding ϝ (w). In words like ὥρᾱ (hṓrā), ρ prevented ᾱ from shifting to η, because there was no intervening ϝ (w).
Probably related to κορίζομαι (korízomai, “to caress, care for”). From *ḱerh₃- (“to feed, grow”), related to κορέννυμι (korénnumi, “to satisfy”).

Greek: νέος (néos)

→ English: neo-

From Proto-Hellenic *néwos (compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀚𐀺 (ne-wo)), from Proto-Indo-European *néwos. Cognates include Old English nīewe (English new), Latin novus, Sanskrit नव (náva), and Avestan 𐬥𐬀𐬎𐬎𐬀 (nauua).
Contrasting the attested feminine form of νέος in Attic, νέᾱ (néā), as well as the word κόρη (kórē) (from Proto-Hellenic *kórwā), we must establish a relative chronology for the Lautgesetze, assuming the digamma from the original form *νέϝος disappeared earlier when between vowels than after liquid and nasal consonants. See Attic–Ionic vowel shift.

Greek: παλιός (paliós)

→ English: paleo-, palaeo-

→ Irish: pailé-

→ German: paläo-

→ French: paléo-

From πάλαι (pálai, “long ago”) + -ος (-os, “adjectival suffix”). Likely cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀞𐀨𐀍 (pa-ra-jo), which has been argued to mean “old”; this connection points to a Proto-Hellenic *palai(y)ós and casts doubt on the popularly proposed etymology from Proto-Indo-European *kʷel-.

According to Beekes, we have to start from a noun, perhaps *μεῖρος (*meîros), which would agree with Sanskrit मर्य (marya, “young man, suitor, lover”) and Avestan 𐬨𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬌𐬀 (maⁱriia, “yeoman”). A feminine *μεῖρα (*meîra) may be also considered. As a remote cognate, Lithuanian mergà (“girl”) has been adduced and, with different vocalism, Lithuanian martì (“daughter-in-law”); also, the unclear Latin marītus (“married”). Nowadays, Celtic words are also connected, like Welsh morwyn (“maiden, virgin”) and Cornish moren (“maiden”). The connection with Albanian shemër (“second wife”) is hardly convincing. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *méryos (“boy, girl”).
