Cf. the homophonous verb {Qagh} "err, be mistaken, make a mistake":
KGT 145: [{bachHa'}] literally means something like "mis-shoot"--that is, shoot wrongly. It is used in such constructions as {jIbachHa'pu'} ("I have made a mistake"; literally, "I have mis-shot"). The standard word meaning "err, make a mistake" is {Qagh}, as in {jIQaghpu'} ("I have make a mistake").
