Don't forget that {Hoch} is really a noun, and may still be used as such.
 Although {Hoch no'} could mean either "everyone's ancestors" or "all of the
ancestors," I think this is just a case where context would make the meaning
clear.  Actually, I'm not sure there is a very significant difference anyway.

{Hoch nuv no'} makes sense, too, but perhaps it would only be needed if the
context were not already clear.
