This is my own assumption. I don't see why they won'T be related.
Phoneticaly they are very apropiate , semanticaly too.
For instance you have Latin "querquedulos" which is almost identicaly
with Rom. "corcodel" having the same meaning. However, as in the case of
"gudura", the phonetic lwas established do not allow you to derive the
"corcodel" from "querque:dula", thus DEX gives it as onomatopeic from
"corcod" . I am not aware of this "corcod" , but this shoulöd be my
fault I don'T know a such onomatopea.
The Latin word is given from PIE *qerq-, or *qreq-, or *qro:q-
Other IE cognates are:
Greek: korkoras
Old Irish: cerc
Old Prus.: kerko
Old Indic: karkarah, kr.kava:kuh
Pedersen compare it with Lith. "kverks^le"; Let. "kva:rks^et"
