I wouldn’t expect anybody to accept these, but if we wanted to get “creative”, possibly one or both of these might make sense:
{wa'vatlh vatlhvI'mo' vIghro'wIj 'IH law' vIghro' motlh 'IH puS} {'IHqu' vIghro'wIj; cha'logh boq'egh vIghro' motlh; chen vIghro'wIj.}
I'm assuming the first is based on these examples: {cha' DISmo' jIH qan law' SoH qan puS} "I'm two years older than you." {cha' 'ujmo' jIH woch law' SoH woch puS} "I'm two {'uj}es taller than you."
But wouldn't it be {cha'vatlh vatlhvI'mo'...}? When you're dealing with percentages, you're not saying "100% more", you're saying "200% as"... I think.
What about something like: {vIghro'wIj tIQ 'IH law', vIghro'lIj motlh 'IH puS; cha'logh 'IH}?
I don't know what it means to be beautiful twice, either, but maybe it's twice as good as being beautiful once.
