It looks like a "following" {Hoch} has a meaning like "entirety".
Because of the lack of examples, I'm not going to do much analysis
for {'op}.
But the other thing that I like about this is that we now have an
absolutely correct way to say "exhaust, use up" -- and it isn't
{tlhuch}. Of course, we also have an absolutely correct way to
say "emit" -- and it isn't {tlhuch} either. However, {tlhuD} is
stated to apply to energy or radiation, so I still think that
{tlhuch} is appropriate for emitting cumbustion products.
