Are you sure?
I only found the entry in the cursing with the picture of this sweet little hedgehog.
On the left, it reads {Qa'Hom}, on the right "little animal (eg. ligonian titmouse)"
Was that your source, or is it in the game somewhere?
[also found in KCD:\TXTFILES\CU001.TXT]

on KCD:\WAV\CU001T.WAV, Marc Okrand speaks:

    The translation "titmouse" is really only an approximation 
    of what this word means. A {Qa'Hom} is a small animal, 
    considered rather unsignificant. The word literally means 
    "little {Qa'}". A {Qa'} is a larger more dangerous animal. 
    A {Qa'Hom} is not a young {Qa'}, but it does bear a vague 
    resemblance to its nymphsoup.

    [final word obviously not understood, but the rest is Okrand.]

Quvar.
