I've been wondering lately, with regards to using {Hoch} after a noun with an adjective, and more specifically its' position with regards to the adjective.

Assume we want to say "all of the big pie". There are two options:

{chab tIn Hoch}

{chab Hoch tIn}

Of the two, my preference would be the first one, since -the way I understand it- it goes like:

"There is a big pie, and we consider all of it".

While the second, feels like it means:

"There is a pie, we consider all of it, and that all, is big".

The only thing which troubles me, is whether it's permissible to actually place {Hoch} after an adjective.

Would anyone like to share any thoughts on this matter ?

Think of the word Hoch as meaning entirety or all-ness. chab Hoch means the pie's all-ness, the all-ness of the pie. If you say Hoch tIn, you're saying big all-ness, and chab Hoch tIn means the pie's big all-ness. This isn't what you mean, so it can't be right.

chab tIn means big pie, so chab tIn Hoch means big pie's all-ness, which is what you're looking for. There is no problem putting Hoch after an adjectivally acting verb, because you don't consider the verb on its own: it's part of the noun phrase chab tIn. Noun phrases participate in the noun-noun construction exactly as if they were nouns.
