No, it's TIQHMI -- perhaps that's what you meant. I don't know of any  
TIMHMI; theoretically it looks like a -MI verb form of TIMAW, but if  
there were any such form, it really ought to be TIMAMI. I haven't  
checked, but one might very well find that in Lesbian Aeolic dialect,  
which tends to have MI-verb forms of what in Attic-Ionic are contract  
verbs.
