    In my conception, {naQ} refers especifically to just one thing
while {Hoch} refers in general. naQ - One egg, one plant/vegetation, 
etc. Hoch - all kinds of eggs, vegetation, etc.
Of course it depends on the context.

    Hoch yuQ yIQaw' - Destroy every planet (Everyone that you'll find)
    yuQ naQ yIQaw' - Destroy all planet (Just that planet)

    QIm naQ yISop - Eat the entire egg (Not the yolk merely, but everything)
    Hoch QImmey yISop - Eat all eggs (which are in your plate).

    Dujvam ghoSmeH nIn naQ wIlo' (We use all/entire fuel to thrust this ship)
