Definitely yes. I think there's even a canon example for this.

I think Lieven is thinking of this one:
DujvamDaq tlhIngan nuH tu'lu'bogh pov law' Hoch pov puS 'ej DujvamDaq
'op SuvwI' tu'lu'bogh po' law' tlhIngan yo' SuvwI' law' po' puS
It [IKC Pagh] has the best weapons and some of the finest warriors in the
Klingon fleet. (S7)
Not quite a match, but close.
If mayqel is asking whether {law'} -- or {puS} for that matter -- can be the Q element in a {A Q law' B Q puS} ("A is Q-er than B") phrase, then I see no reason why not. You would have to listen very carefully, to be sure, but that might appeal to some speakers.
