I don't disagree with what you say, but I think /jIH Dung/ isn't the right
example to use here; I don't see any relation to the /all of us/ problem.
I know it's suppose to be /jIH Dung/ and not /DungwIj/, but I would
understand /DungwIj/ to be "My area above", as opposed to "YOUR area above".
/Hochmaj/ is "our all, the all which is ours".
"We gave it our all (all our strength, physically, mentally, our entire being,
etc)". Or is could be "our all" as opposed to Someone else's all.
The original "all of us" in question is not refering to body parts, but the
number of people. "All of us went to the store", I hope one is not saying "all
of their body parts".
