I should clarify while Carl is right that contract futures of -IZW verbs do
occur occasionally in the NT (12 times, I think), the future principal part
of -IZW verbs in the NT more commonly end in -ISW (16 verbs), not -IW
contract (9 verbs). Those nine that contract (like Attic) are:

AFORIZW, EKXEW, EGGIZW, EDAFIZW, KAQARIZW, KOMIZW, MAKARIZW, METOIKIZW,
PARORGIZW.
