A Greek prefix that means same?
Both ΟΜΟ- (con-), ΟΜΟΙΟ- (homo- / homeo- pronounced: omoio-) and ΗΜΙ- (semi-, demi-) can signify the same thing, though "ΗΜΙ-" (semi-) has the degrading meaning of "half-". Just think what "semisexual" could mean...

Warning about the direct translation to English:
Be very Careful with the Greek word Sophos as meaning only wisdom as this is not exactly as easy as all the previous posts have listed. Its a two edged sword and it can't be assumed to be a one to one agreement with the English word wisdom.
Websters college dictionary (4th edition) defines sophos as (clever skilful wise) and it further defines Sophism as the practice of clever and plausible but fallacious argument or form or reason (the dialectic method). This was the type of reason used by those philos-sophos (philosophy or philosophers) such as Zeno (Stoic - or Porch) and Epicurus (Epicureans or Attic) sophists. Its the practice of the doctrine of being wise via the dialectic method (clever of wise argument).
The Greek word you are most likely looking for is idris which is translated knowing, and not sophos which is translated (clever skillful wise).

The related Greek root anemo- can be found in the English word "anemometer" (a device for measuring wind speed).
What percentage of English words come from greek words?
Greek has contributed to English in several ways, including direct borrowings from Greek and indirectly through other languages (mainly Latin or French).
In a typical 80,000-word English dictionary, about 5% of the words are directly borrowed from Greek; this is about equivalent to the vocabulary of an educated speaker of English (for example, "phenomenon" is a Greek word and even obeys Greek grammar rules as the plural is "phenomena"). However, around 25% are borrowed indirectly. This is because there were many Greek words borrowed in Latin originally, which then filtered down into English because English borrowed so many words from Latin (for example, "elaiwa" in Greek evolved into the Latin "oliva", which in turn became "olive" in English).
Greek is often used in coining very specialized technical or scientific words, however, so the percentage of words borrowed from Greek rises much higher when considering highly scientific vocabulary (for example, "oxytetracycline" is a medical term that has several Greek roots).
What is the Greek word for illumination?
its φωταγώγηση (fotagogisi/ photagogisi). It derives from the words φως (phos) meaning light and agoge meaning treatment or in this case ''showing the way''.
