An afterthought: As a nice semantic parallel, cf. Latin citellus from cieo 'move, stir, shake', citus 'quick'.

This is getting interesting. It looks as if Slavic reflexes of *k^euk^- might exist (in Polish there must have been some confusion with the similar-sounding and semantically close German loan Schuss). *k^euk^-ro- 'agile' (if this is what s^ustryj comes from) would go very well with ground squirrels (*k^ouk^-lo-s ? -- the apparent yer may be a late epenthesis). I'll see if similar names can be found elsewhere in IE.
