Permit me to doubt it.
KLUB, 'cage, basket', may have nothing to do with KELEB, 'dog', the
same way that CIPOR, 'bird', has nothing to do with CPIR, 'goat', and
that KPIR, 'lion', has nothing to do with KPOR, 'frost', and that
CIRAAH, 'hornet', has nothing to do with CARAAT, 'leprosy', and that
DBORAH, 'bee', has nothing to do with DIBUR, 'speech', and that NAXA
$, 'snake', has nothing to do with 'NIXU$, 'divination', and that
$UAL, 'fox', has nothing to do with MI$OL, 'path'.
But I do see a topological connection between KOS, 'cup', and KIYS,
'pocket'.
