OTOH I can see {law’wI’pu’} “the many” -- using the {-pu’} plural suffix – for the Marxist jargon “the masses”.

I was thinking about mass nouns as well.

Huch law' vIghaj.
cha' Doj tu'lu'.
law' Dojvam Huch. law'wI' Doj 'oH.
puS Dojvam Huch. puSwI' Doj 'oH.

I think this makes sense. Of course, you're not likely to put -pu' on a mass noun. And masses is the plural of mass, and a mass (of people) isn't a being capable of using language, so it won't get -pu'.
