While I would agree that it is definitely better to laugh while standing than to live while kneeling, you obviously mean {Hegh} instead of {Hagh}. Since your examples fixed the intentional or accidental error in the original grammar (using {-vIS} without preceding it with {-taH-}, both of your suggestions seem fine. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.

There's the Ca'Non sentence: {QamvIS Hagh qaq law' torvIS yIn qaq puS}.
Based on the above could we write something like the following?
Suvlu'taHvIS batlh potlh law' yInlu'taHvIS tlhuH potlh puS honor while fighting is more important than breath while living
or maybe even:
SuvchoHlu'DI' batlh potlh law' yInchoHlu'DI' tlhuH potlh puS as soon as someone begins to fight honor is more important than breath as soon he begins to live
Based on the Ca'Non {QamvIS Hagh qaq law' torvIS yIn qaq puS}, could I construct sentences as the above, or is the QamvIS Hegh.. some kind of "maltz-said-so-special-phrase-so-shut-up-and-don't-generalize" case?
