Interesting point.
However, because I fear we're being slowly led astray from the original subject (of this thread), I would like to say that I'm not searching for a way to say something like "each dog I tickle bites me".
I'm (was) searching for a way to say "every time I tickle a dog, he bites me".
Obviously {Hochlogh} can work perfectly for situations like the last one.

However, as lieven pointed out, if we analyze {Hochlogh} we will see that it possesses {Hoch} and {-logh}, which brings its "literal" meaning awfully close (in a good way), to "each/every time".So, why not use it in order to describe the "each time" concept ?
-logh doesn't mean "times"; it turns the number it's attached to into an adverbial meaning how many times something happens. Hochlogh refers to the number of times something happens (all the times!), not each individual instance. If you can't put reH in its place and get exactly the same meaning (with altered emphasis), you're not using it right.
