I was under the impression that {Hoch} could mean "everything" only when used on its own, as for instance in {Hoch vor Dargh wIb}.
My misconception was, that in Hoch-noun constructions, {Hoch} could *only* mean, "each noun", or "all nouns" depending on the presence of {-pu'}/{-mey'} or not.
I dunno, maybe these are true. I don't think we've ever seen *Hoch X* mean anything other than /each X,/ but there's also no rule against it meaning the more general /X of everything./ Lacking anything concrete, I concede that they are possible, if not definite. It's also the reason I suggest not overloading the use of *Hoch* when we don't know everything about it. Stick to what is known. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
