[tlhIngan Hol] {SoH rallaw' law' Hoch rallaw' puS}

[De'vID]

This sentence came up in a discussion on Discord. Here's the snippet of
what Dr. Okrand said about it when I asked him while going through the
paq'batlh together:

p. 127: rallaw'
> {SoH rallaw' law' Hoch rallaw' puS}
> This sentence seems to introduce new grammar, so I just wanted to make
> sure it was correct. Is this sentence a demonstration that, in a comparison
> construction, the verb of quality can take type-6 suffixes? (Previously, we
> were told that the verbs {law'} and {puS} could take the suffix {-be'}, but
> I didn't find any other instances of verb suffixes in such constructions.)

> Can type-6 suffixes be added to the {law'}/{puS}? Would *{SoH ral law'law'

In the 2ed, that sentence will be changed to {SoH ral law’law’ Hoch ral
puSlaw’}.
