I didn't read the original message completely.  Let me rephrase my response:

 >I want all of the spears.
 >Hoch QInmey vIneH
 
 Almost perfect.  We should probably translate this as "I want all spears"
 or "I want every spear."  We don't have any examples saying "all of" a
 collection of things, but based on the {nIn Hoch} example it seems pretty
 likely that {QInmey Hoch} would carry the "all of the spears" meaning.

If QInmey Hoch is all of the spears, would that mean "all of a group of
spears, without any parts missing on any of the spears?"  
 
 The distinction I see between "all spears" and "all of the spears" is
 that the first appears to refer to spears as a category, and the second
 appears to refer to a quantity of spears.

batlh choQaHmo' qatlho'.  Another 2 questions - is it possible to have two
adverbials in one sentence?  And what's the proper order in a question for an
adverbial?
