I did. You refer to yuch 'ay'mey, "pieces of chocolate" - I refer to
yuchmey - "types of chocolates" - perhaps buv yuch is a better way to put
it, but now it's your turn to nitpick.
I agree that yuch is probably a quantitative noun, like bIQ. bIQmey would
not be "lots of water" or "glasses of water" but could *only* mean "waters"
(mineral water, distilled water, seltzer water, salt water, etc.) I used
the same logic with yuch.
