*HochHom */thing(s)/ = /almost all of the //things/ is not found in canon, but I think no one would find it exceptional.
chab Hoch = all the pie chab HochHom = almost all (of the) pie
/thing/ *HochHom* = /almost all of the thing/ is found in canon; /thing/*Hoch* = /all of the thing/ is not. The latter is an extrapolation based on the former.
Would the following make sense ? Would they actually mean anything, and if yes then what ?
chabmey Hoch HochHom chab chabmey HochHom
You're asking about explicit plural suffixes or their lack. The answer is we don't know. If I had to guess, I'd guess that *chabmey Hoch* /pies' allness/ refers to the totality of the group of pies (rather than to the pies themselves), *HochHom chab* means exactly the same thing as *HochHom chabmey,* and *chabmey HochHom* /pies' almost-allness/ refers to the not-quite-totality of the group of pies. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
