Hoch jaj / Hoch jajmey - all days / each day
jaj naQ = naQbogh jaj "a day which is whole"; as opposed to the astronomical

jaj Hoch - all of the day
qaStaHvIS jaj Hoch / qaStaHvIS pem Hoch ...
There were two pies: naQbogh chab, naQbe'bogh chab.
Fred ate all of one of the pies. Which pie did he eat?
naQbogh chab Hoch Sop'a'? naQbe'bogh chab Hoch Sop'a'?
