<pre wrap="">So, -and correct me if my understanding is wrong-, the {Dochmey
HochHom} is grammaticaly identical to the {Dochmey mI'}. But we tend
to accept the {Dochmey HochHom} as being correct -in order to convey
our intented meaning-, because the {HochHom} is acting like an
adjectival verb (although it is not).

<p>No. <b>Dochmey HochHom</b> and <b>Dochmey mI' </b>are indeed
grammatically identical (except you've been using <b>mI'</b> as a
plural, so it's an implicit <b>Dochmey mI'mey</b>). We are not
making exceptions to accommodate the meaning we want.</p>
<p><b>Dochmey HochHom luyajHa' nuvpu'<br>

<p>People misunderstand the majority. The majority of what? Things.
There are things, and people misunderstand the majority.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Dochmey mI' yajHa' nuvpu'<br>
</b><i>people misunderstand the things' numbers</i></p>
<p>People misunderstand the numbers, the quantity. The numbers of
what? Things. There are things, and people misunderstand how many
of them there are.</p>
<p>This was Ed's original, correct objection. <b>Dochmey mI'</b>
doesn't mean "a lot of things" or "several things." It means "the
number of things," "the count of things," "how many things there
are."</p>
