maj. I remember in the past, us having discussed the first group of Hoch/HochHom, i.e.: Hoch chab = each pie Hoch chabmey = all pies HochHom chabmey = almost all the pies chab Hoch = all the pie chab HochHom = almost all (of the) pie And having concluded, that even those which aren't canon make sense, and thus are valid. I wanted to ask about the three variations, of which I wrote in my original post (chabmey Hoch, HochHom chab, and chabmey HochHom), in case there was something I was missing. qatlho' SuStel ! qunnoq On Thu, Aug 3, 2017 at 4:38 PM, SuStel <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote:

HochHom thing(s) = almost all of the things is not found in canon, but I think no one would find it exceptional.
chab Hoch = all the pie chab HochHom = almost all (of the) pie
thing HochHom = almost all of the thing is found in canon; thing Hoch = all of the thing is not. The latter is an extrapolation based on the former.
Would the following make sense ? Would they actually mean anything, and if yes then what ?
chabmey Hoch HochHom chab chabmey HochHom
You're asking about explicit plural suffixes or their lack. The answer is we don't know.
If I had to guess, I'd guess that chabmey Hoch pies' allness refers to the totality of the group of pies (rather than to the pies themselves), HochHom chab means exactly the same thing as HochHom chabmey, and chabmey HochHom pies' almost-allness refers to the not-quite-totality of the group of pies.
