Since nobody else has answered this, I'll take a stab at it.

I suspect it is a mistyping of:
jIQuchbe' 'ach qarbe' 'ej jIQuchHa'be'.
If the author is on this list, perhaps he can say for sure.
In the next paragraph he glosses Qochbe' as 'not agree', when it should be
'not disagree'. He probably meant QochHa'be'. (Just in case anyone was
confused by this QaghHom.)
