I don't have canon examples at hand, but I'm sure that {law'} is
not only "many" but also "much" (bIQ law' - "a lot of water", not
"many waters"). So with noncountable things like {'ul law'} I
don't read it as "many electricities", but "much electricity".

And I do see a difference between {'ul} and {Do}. The former can't be assigned a single number and can be measured in different ways. For example, {law' 'ul}, but {vItlh voltage} or {vItlh current}. Similarly, {law' movement} but {vItlh Do}.<br clear="all"><div><br></div><div>If I said {law' Dujmey}, I'm talking about many ships.
