I was thinking about mass nouns as well.

*Huch law' vIghaj.
cha' Doj tu'lu'.
law' Dojvam Huch. law'wI' Doj 'oH.
puS Dojvam Huch. puSwI' Doj 'oH.*

I think this makes sense. Of course, you're not likely to put *-pu'* on 
a mass noun. And /masses/ is the plural of /mass,/ and a mass (of 
people) isn't a being capable of using language, so it won't get *-pu'.*
