Okrand once communicated privately with members of the Klingon Shakespeare Restoration Project (KSRP) that pronouns (being a subset of nouns) could indeed be used with stative verbs (i.e. Okrand’s “qualities”). Thus, {SoH po' law' jIH po' puS} is correct. (Cf. HQ 4.2 p.3) More examples for those keeping track: qIbDaq SuvwI''e' SoH Dun law' Hoch Dun puS You would be the greatest warrior in the galaxy. (ST5) jIH qan law’ SoH qan puS I'm older than you. (Lieven < Okrand, 7/25/2016) jIH Qup law’ SoH Qup puS I'm younger than you. (Lieven < Okrand, 7/25/2016) cha’ DISmo’ jIH qan law’ SoH qan puS I'm two years older than you. (Lieven < Okrand, 7/25/2016) cha’ ’ujmo’ jIH woch law’ SoH woch puS I'm two 'ujes taller than you.

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<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/klingonska.org/canon/2004-03-holqed-13-1.txt__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!u1KCeI70b1jZ0fF98wCJvKOryujLhpJqeYW-_0B9lks3djsq_3JS7tyy4mceVvhRot4$> -- SuStel http://trimboli.name<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/trimboli.name__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!u1KCeI70b1jZ0fF98wCJvKOryujLhpJqeYW-_0B9lks3djsq_3JS7tyy4mceTcQR40Y$>
