The question is whether this use of {'e'} in a law'/puS construction could be considered to be correct. But I think that it isn't, because in the slots of a law'/puS construction the only thing allowed is either a noun, or a pronoun as {jIH}, {SoH}, {ghaH}, etc, because pronouns can act like nouns too.
I think you are right saying that it is not allowed, but I'd explain it differently, based on how the sentence as object works, from TKD:
"[pronouns 'e' and net] are used primarily, not exclusively, with verbs of thinking or observation (such as "know, see"). They are always treated as the object of the verb."
And a noun in a comparative or superlative sentence is not an object. There is no prohibition against using pronouns in comparatives/superlatives. For example, *jIH Doy' law' SoH Doy' puS*/I am more tired than you are./ http://klingonska.org/canon/2004-03-holqed-13-1.txt -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
