Did I miss something in this discussion?

I've always taken EPISKOPHS to be a verbal noun, like the noun `walk'.
And EPISKOPOS to refer to the person doing the action, like `walker'.
In this case it might be something like `oversight' and `overseer'.
This understanding fits all the occurrences.

What am I missing?

GNT Occurrences of EPISKOPHS:
Acts    1:20
1 Pet.  2:12
1 Tim.  3:1
Luke   19:44

GNT Occurrences of EPISKOPOS:
Acts   20:28
1 Pet.  2:25
1 Tim.  3:2
Phil.   1:1
Tit.    1:7
