I again tend towards no.
This brings up something I've been wondering about. Is the superlative construction considered (by Klingons) to be a similar but distinct construction as the regular comparative, with a fixed structure? Or is the superlative construction just one example of the comparative, which is singled out because {DIvI' Hol} considers the superlative a distinct thing? If it's the latter, I could see {Hoch} being used just fine in the {law'} position. (So many questions I wish I'd thought of *before* the qep'a'...)
