I personally feel that {'e'} is not always necessary to refer back to the
previous topic. The author followed her first sentence with the mere {vImuS}
and I feel that was already clear. I did not need {SIS 'e' vImuS} nor {'e'
vImuS}.
For the concept "all day," I would use the aforementioned suggestion of
{qaStaHvIS X}. In this case, {qaStaHvIS pem naQ} would mean all day during
the daylight hours and {qaStaHvIS jaj} would mean a 24-hour period from dawn
to dawn.
Thus, I am disagreeing with using {Hoch} at all. That would mean "each day,
every day." {naQ} indicates a "whole" amount.
