Answer 2

as alysa said:

press = there is a similar word in greek which is: "presa" = πρέσα. "presa" is a tool that somebody use to press objects to each other. it is Greek but....

"aer" means air(it is a greek word)
from aeras=αέρας

spir is that thing that dolphins have to breath i think, but there is also "spiral" = spira = σπίρα ( i don't know if you need that)

i dont think the other one is Greek
