Yes, and what about KUKLEW? and KUKLIZW?
Essentially, -OW verbs are denominative factitive verbs from O-stem nouns;
KUKLOW means "make a circle, encircle, surround"; while -EUW verbs are
denominative agentive verbs derived from agent nouns in -EUS or -EUTHS;
KUKLEUW means "be an encircler"--LSJ gives as primary senses "wind round,"
"traverse" (MIAS hHMERAS KUKLEUEIN PERIODON), "work a water wheel"
(KUKLEUMA).
Another good example of this difference in verb stems is with
DOULOS/servant: DOULOW = "enslave," while DOULEUW = be a servant.
KUKLEW means "go around in a circle"; KUKLIZW (factitive) means "cause to
revolve."
