When I first read this, I thought {HochHom} looked quite odd... until I
remembered that {-Hom} isn't just a quantitative dimunititive, but actually a
*qualitative* one. Then it makes sense (In Hol, anyway!)
It does cause me to wonder what {Hoch'a'} would mean, though. "The sum total
of all occurances of this (whatever) that have ever existed and ever will,"
perhaps?
Just idle speculation....
