Not quite reliable because of the doubtful status of the Syr. form. In Ethiopian, cf. also Gez. ḳāhm (ḳəhm, ḳāḥm) ‘kind of ant; drone’ (CDG 425, LLA 409, SLLA 169) and Tgr. ˀaḳ(ə)ḥma (ˀaḳḥomä) ‘ants’ (WTS 365), possibly related with metathesis.
Syriac
ḳamḥā - insectum quoddam (a certain kind of insect)
(LSyr. 423, PS 2337)
In nāḥəlat ḳamḥā. Both elements of this compound term (whose literal meaning is ‘sifting-the-flour’) may go back to original animal names re-interpreted by popular etymology (cf. *nVḥl- ‘swarm of bees’, SED II No. 160 for nāḥəlat).
Tigre
ḳomḥay - fourmi qui mange le miel (ant that eats honey)
(WTS 237)
