So go back to *Hoch maH.* Do you take the set of /us-es/ as each /us /performing the action? Do you take the set of all /us-es/ as performing the action collectively? Shouldn't you instead use *maH Hoch* /the entirety of us,/ which is a third-person phrase?
And once you've got *maH Hoch*, you can go all the way to *Hochma'*.
No you can't — unless you come from Sakrej. *maH Hoch* is not a *Hoch* that is possessed by *maH.* As we see with "area" nouns, they don't get "possessed" by the pronouns modifying them: *jIH tlhop*/area in front of me/ (not *tlhopwIj*), and so on. I don't possess the area in front of me; the area in front is being identified as the one associated with me. This is a non-possessive, genitive relationship. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
