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.
