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
