<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">During battle, an officer sees on the screen something which is surely
an armed ship closing in at warp 3 and something else which seems to
be a ship which is more heavily armed closing in at warp 7.
Is there a reason why we couldn't say the following ?
DujHey Qob law' Dujna' Qob puS
the apparent ship is more dangerous than the definite ship
In the past, we've discussed the noun(s) of a law'/puS construction
being {-meH}ed nouns, {-bogh}ed nouns, even noun-noun constructions,
but I don't remember having ever discussed whether the noun(s) of a
law'/puS construction can take suffixes.</pre>

<p>Suffixes on nouns in comparative and superlative sentences? Why
not? Noun-noun constructions, too! Relative clauses! Adjectivally
acting verbs! If it's a noun phrase, it's fair game.<br>

<p>I don't think <b>-Hey</b> and <b>-na'</b> have ever canonically
been the sole difference between the two nouns being compared, but
there's nothing ungrammatical about it.<br>
