Article say proto indo european but I don't hear any similar slavic stem. We did until recently have "vojna" (2 year mandatory military service) but that's quite far from "koryos".

Looking through their list of existing word descendants, the only one I recognize is Greek κοίρανος "koiranos". It also cites Old English "here" which I recognize from Beowulf in the kenning heregrima "war-mask". There are some others in languages I don't know at all (Persian, Lithuanian). The derivation seems authentic but it seems to have left only very scattered traces.
