But "we", by its nature, refers to more than one entity. vIghro' is singular. -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 1/29/18, mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Expressing "all of us" To: tlhingan-hol@kli.org Date: Monday, January 29, 2018, 4:58 AM DloraH:> I read [Hoch maH] as " all the us's", "all the we's", as in multiple > groups. It is not speaking of the entirety of a single group I'm afraid I disagree. If we say, for example, {Hoch vIghro'mey DIlegh}, we will understand "we see all the cats". All the cats our words concern. Whether there is just a single group or more, that's unspecified. Though I doubt, someone's mind will go on to think that there may be multiple groups. So, I don't think someone will understand, that there are multiple groups of cats, and the {Hoch vIghro'mey} is used to describe the entirety of these groups, taken together as a whole. ~ nI'ghma On Jan 29, 2018 03:20, "seruq" <seruq@bellsouth.net> wrote: I read [Hoch maH] as " all the us's", "all the we's", as in multiple groups.

But I can see the possibility of it's use.
