}This is something I've always been wondering about. By itself, is {Hoch}
}singular or plural? Would "everyone eats gagh" be {qagh Sop Hoch} or {qagh
}luSop Hoch}?
Klingon collective nouns and irregualar plurals tend to be treated as
grammatically singular, and we have the example of {may' ngeb tIv Hoch} from
the curse warfare scene on one of the tapes. Treat Hoch as grammatically
singular.
