[tlhIngan Hol] The concept of "one/each/every time"

[mayqel qunenoS]

Of course, as lieven pointed out, the difference -in english- between "each
time" and "every time" eludes me.

But the way they *feel* to me in english is the same with the way they feel
to me in greek; that is whenever I hear them, I get the "emphasis" feeling.

Because of this reason I feel that the {Hochlogh} actually manages to kill
two birds with one stone. Literally it means "each/every time", while
simultaneously it gives emphasis to the sentence.

So, I believe it solves my problem of expressing the "each/every time"
meaning.
