No, not really; it's just that the -QH- aorist and -QHS- future forms are
later developments in some verbs whose older forms continue to be used
while some speakers/writers are using the newer ones. Thus EBLAFQHN is
newer than EBLABHN, BLAFQHSOMAI newer than BLABHSOMAI, but one still finds
both aorists and both future "passive" forms in use in the Koine--and
that's just one example.
