Would a Klingon necessarily use the -mey? Hoch makes the plural
meaning clear.
Speaking of Hoch, what canonical indications do we have of how to
use it to modify another noun? It is glossed as "everyone, all,
everything (n)". In the above sentence charghwI' puts it after
the noun it quantifies. I've used it and, I think, seen it used
(in this group) before the noun. The same question goes for
latlh and probably a bunch of other similar words.
