[tlhIngan Hol] Expressing "all of us"

[seruq]

But "we", by its nature, refers to more than one entity.
vIghro' is singular.

 I'm
 afraid I disagree.
 If we say,
 for example, {Hoch vIghro'mey DIlegh}, we will
 understand "we see all the cats". All the cats our
 words concern.
 Whether
 there is just a single group or more, that's
 unspecified. Though I doubt, someone's mind will go on
 to think that there may be multiple
 groups.
 So, I
 don't think someone will understand, that there are
 multiple groups of cats, and the {Hoch vIghro'mey} is
 used to describe the entirety of these groups, taken
 together as a whole.

 As for [maH Hoch], similar to the plural suffix, unless you
 need to remove ambiguity, then no need to use it.  Just use
 maH.
 
 
 
 But I can see the possibility of it's use.
