<p><b>law'</b> means <i>be many,</i> so <b>law'wI'</b> means <i>one
who is many...</i> whatever that means. Now, there may be a
"yeah, but you get it anyway" factor involved here, but looking
strictly at the meanings of the pieces, I don't think <b>law'wI'pu'</b>
means <i>many of them</i> or <i>group that consists of many;</i>
I think it means <i>group of ones who are each many. </i>Again,
whatever that means.</p>
<p>But if Okrand were to come out and say that <b>law'wI'pu'</b>
means <i>those who are many,</i> I wouldn't have any trouble
believing him.<br>
</p>
<p>Better to play it safe for now and just say <b>ghot law'</b><i>
many people.</i><br>
