No, not equal. I made the distinction in my last post.
/chab Hoch/ measures a portion of the pie.
/chab naQ/ describes the pie. This can also be written as /naQbogh chab/.
If I've got a plate of /chab/ in front of my, and exactly one half of it has
been eaten, you might ask me, /chab Hoch DaSop''a'?/ "Will you eat all of
the pie?" to which I would gleefully respond, /HIja'!/
If you were to ask me /chab naQ DaSop'a'?/ "Will you eat an entire pie?" I
would sadly respond, /ghobe'./
