If you like to avoid the strange {<b>law' law'</b>}, you might want to consider the recently disscovered verb {vItlh}. It was used in a phrase in DSC:<br>
<br>
{<b>Heghmey DISIQpu'. 'a DIvI' Hegh vItlh law' Heghmaj vItlh puS.</b>}<br>
"We have suffered losses but the Federation has suffered far more."<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What's interesting to me is that one of the first canon sentences for {<b>vItlh</b>} (from the Smithsonian Air and Space tour app) was a law'-puS construction:
<span class="gmail-im">{<b>DoDaj </b></span><span class="gmail-il"><b>vItlh</b></span><span class="gmail-im"><b> law' wab Do
</b></span><span class="gmail-il"><b>vItlh</b></span><span class="gmail-im"><b> puS</b>.} I wonder if it was coined specifically to avoid using {<b>law'</b>} twice in a row. (Even if that's true, I don't see why {<b>law' law'</b>} would itself be ungrammatical;
maybe it just didn't fit Okrand's aesthetic sensibilities at the time.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
