Indeed, why should it not?
If you like to avoid the strange {law' law'}, you might want to consider 
the recently disscovered verb {vItlh}. It was used in a phrase in DSC:
{Heghmey DISIQpu'. 'a DIvI' Hegh vItlh law' Heghmaj vItlh puS.}
"We have suffered losses but the Federation has suffered far more."
