Not always. According to my (native speaker) son,
/kohen/ has the accent on the /e/, but /golem/ has the accent on the /o/.
(Also from the word /Salom/, there is a form that is used to
describe the making-up by kids after a fight, /Solem/, which has the
accent on the /o/. I can't say for certain, but it's possible that this is
a borrowing-back from the Yiddish version of the word: /SOlem/,
with the accent on the first vowel.
It's also possible that /golem/ has the accent on the first vowel
due to similar influences.)

Thanks Steg!  I'll be on the lookout for it.
