*maryako:^ 'boy, youth'
*marryákù:
*marráku
*ma:ráku
*kuma:rá (met.)

borrowed into Indic: Vedic kuma:rá-s

===========

this word can also be a borrowing from Uralic

Cf. Komi one of the language names
and Hant-Mans has *kom "man"

unless you admit exchanges
PIE ghum-an "man" > Uralic kom- > vedic kumara
