Just a minor correction--infer, aquifer, and fertile don't come directly from Greek pherein, but from Latin ferre, which has the same meaning and comes from the same Indo-European root.
You're certainly right - sorry about that.

I found a list of words that actually came from the Greek:
feretory, –phore, –phoresis, –phorous; amphora, anaphora, diaphoresis, euphoria, metaphor, periphery, pheromone, telpher, tocopherol
As an insight perhaps outside of the scope of etymology: Remez is a hint rzh=thin but in Aramaic (as in sepher Daniel) the first and last letter of remez=raz which means 'secret'. And secret's must always be hinted at. It is appropos that only a hint of the word remez is found in the Tanach. Of course you mentioned the traffic light. And the gammatria of raz is the sam as that of light.
ephnegkan - επηνεγκαν
I don't know Greek, but I won't let that stop me from asking. Are the Greek and the transliteration both correct? According to this, pi-eta is transliterated as "ph." Are you being misled by the fact that a cap eta looks like "H"?
I don't know Greek either - I got it from here:

A bit of a slow response from me (exams 'nall). I sort of imagined that Greek should be read as "epinegkan"... but I've not yet picked up the Classical Greek book in my bookshelf, so I don't actually know.
As for רמזור: although it is a portmanteau, at least from my English-speaking biasa, the "-or" suffix seems appropriate to indicate a causitive agent of רמז...
