It doesn't "mean" that. It can be *translated* that way in the passage because of the context given along with it. Only one action is being described. To say "each of that one action, taken one at a time" would be extremely strange in English.

It is apparent to me that {ngIq Doch}, when {Doch} is a single thing, emphasizes the singularity of that thing.
