<p>I think the difference, which I just suggested in another
message, is that <b>vItlh</b> is more general than <b>law'</b><b>.
law' </b>is only about quantity, while <b>vItlh</b> is
about quantity or size or intensity or whatever it is by
which you measure a thing. If you measure a big quantity,
either <b>law' </b>or <b>vItlh</b> will do, though <b>vItlh
</b>assumes the listener knows you're talking about
quantity; if you measure a big size, either <b>tIn </b>or
<b>vItlh</b> will do, though <b>vItlh </b>assumes the
listener knows you're talking about size; if you measure a
big strength, either <b>HoS</b> or <b>vItlh</b> will do,
though <b>vItlh </b>assumes the listener knows you're
talking about strength; and so on.</p>

<div>It seems like <b>vItlh</b> has a similar set of meanings as
the noun <b>-'a'</b> suffix.</div>
</blockquote>
<p><b>-'a'</b> and <b>-Hom</b> don't just mean great in
quantity/intensity/etc.; they usually make the noun into a
different thing entirely. <b>vItlh</b> doesn't do that; it just
describes a noun.<br>
