We’ve seen one example of this in the article about variants of the {law’ /
puS} formula nIqolay Q referred to:



*  QuchlIj vIl law'be' QuchwIj vIl puSbe'*

   your forehead isn't ridgier than my forehead. (HQ 13.1:10)



Note that {-be’} appears on both {law’} and {puS}.



That's not an example of what he was asking for. He would want the {-be'}
on {vIl} above.

At another thread, I wrote the sentence:



{tlhIngan mu'tlheghvam tIqbe' law' DIvI' Hol 'elaDya' Hol qoj mu'tlhegh
tIqbe' puS}



With the intented meaning "this klingon sentence isn't longer than the
greek and/or english sentence".



I would like to ask whether the {tIqbe'} is an acceptable verb to be placed
in the slot of the law' puS construction.



Can we use there a verb carrying suffixes ?
