The intented meaning was "I was thinking: some time ago, each one of

these people was living (alive)".

This effect can be achieved with 'op ret yIn Hoch nuvvam some time ago each of these people lived.

When you use Hoch in front of a noun, if that noun lacks a plural suffix, the meaning is "each noun." If the noun has a plural suffix, the meaning is "all nouns." Saying "all nouns" is the only time a plural suffix is required in Klingon.
