I tried pluralizing {SoH} once in what I thought was an appropriate
context, addressing the comment to someone who I'd expect to have
understood it.  She didn't understand it, perhaps because {SoHpu'} wants
very much to be interpreted as a "to be" verb having a perfective suffix.

{SoHmey} seems somehow more appropriate for your example anyway. :-)
