Uh, what does “kohen” mean in Greek, then, and why is this used in the Old Testament for “priest” and not in the New Testament?

Because the actual term in the New Testament you are claiming as “priest” means “elder.”

Presbuteros is in the New Testament. From it comes the word priest.

I never claimed it as “priest” - not once, ever. I said: Presbuteros most certainly IS in the New Testament and from it we get the word priest. All of that is undeniable.

And of course the word Trinity is not mentioned in the New Testament either...
