I wonder whether the following are correct.
wa' jaj maHegh Hochone day we will all die
wa' jaj maHegh HochHomone day most of us will die
wa' jaj maHegh Hoch maHone day all we will die
wa' jaj maHegh maH Hochone day all of us will die
wa' jaj maHegh HochHom maHone day we almost all will die
wa' jaj maHegh maH HochHomone day most of us will die
wa' jaj Hegh Hoch chaHone day all they will die
wa' jaj Hegh chaH Hochone day all of them will die
wa' jaj Hegh HochHom chaHone day they almost all will die
wa' jaj Hegh chaH HochHomone day most of them will die
And I wonder whether there are canon examples of {Hoch} and/or {HochHom} used as subjects of a verb with the prefix {ma-}.
And whether there are canon examples of {Hoch} and/or {HochHom} placed before, or after pronouns.
People try to do these things all the time, because they're trying to reproduce the expressions used by English or some other language. But most of these violate the rule of rom, that verb prefixes must agree with subjects and objects. Yes, sometimes those rules are violated by Klingons under certain circumstances, but we humans should be making up our own circumstances.
wa' jaj maHegh Hoch
one day we will all die
Hoch is a third-person noun, not a first-person noun, so the verb prefix must agree with a third-person subject. Say either wa' jaj maHegh one day we will die or wa' jaj Hegh Hoch one day everyone will die. This goes for HochHom variants too.
While this is not positive evidence, I will point out that paq'batlh has
naDev Sughompu'
'ej Qo'noS SuvwI'pu' Hem tlhIH
qeylIS tIghmey'e'
DaH tIQoy...Hear now,
All of you here,
Proud warriors of Kronos

The translator declined to say Hoch tlhIH or tlhIH
Hoch for all of you.
wa' jaj maHegh Hoch maH/wa' jaj maHegh maH Hoch
one day all we will die
Assuming either of Hoch maH or maH Hoch is
valid for all of us (as opposed to some of us
or none of us), then this works. But I don't think we
know that those are valid. Likewise with HochHom
variants.
