No disagreement with this at all. I'm just saying Hoch'a' would be more than the entire thing. Gives you more of an "where did that come from?" effect if you will... Hoch'a' would probably be used in referancing to food or something with a common allocated amount... Like Hoch'a' could refer to a pie and a half rather than an entire pie.

Consider the giant redwood tree. It's definitely a mighty tree, by virtue of
its size and impressiveness, as well as anything spiritual you may feel in
coming into the presence of something so old and venerable. In view of these
feelings, you may be moved to say that the giant redwood is a {Sor'a'}
"great tree". But that doesn't stop it from also being just a {Sor}. A
{SuvwI''a'} is also still a type of {SuvwI'}.
I'm not saying I'm necessarily right, but just drawing your attention to the
fact that something could be an {X-'a'} and still be a type of {X}. Again,
context is important.
