κόρη

• κόρᾱ (kórā) — Doric, Aeolic
• κούρη (koúrē) — Epic, Ionic
• κώρᾱ (kṓrā) — Doric
• κόρϝα (kórwa) — Arcadocypriot

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”).
