By the way, two short questions:

<p>Unclear. We might suppose that <b>HochHom X</b> follows the same
rule as <b>Hoch X:</b> including a plural suffix means to take
most of the X's as a whole, while leaving off a plural suffix
means to take most of the X's individually. I would guess, in that
case, that the plurality of the phrase depends on whether there is
a plural suffix. But we don't know for sure if <b>HochHom</b>
follows the same rule; I suggest it only as a default position to
take.<br>

<p>Nothing wrong with it. A canonical example comes from <i>paq'batlh:</i></p>
