jot = be calm jotwI' = someone who is calm Qup = young QupwI' = someone who is young law' = be numerous, be many law'wI'pu' = those who are many So, we could say: Har law'wI'pu' many believe *Something* tells me that it can't be correct But that *something* can't figure out the why
law' means be many, so law'wI' means one who is many... whatever that means. Now, there may be a "yeah, but you get it anyway" factor involved here, but looking strictly at the meanings of the pieces, I don't think law'wI'pu' means many of them or group that consists of many; I think it means group of ones who are each many. Again, whatever that means.
But if Okrand were to come out and say that law'wI'pu'
means those who are many, I wouldn't have any trouble
believing him.
Better to play it safe for now and just say ghot law'
many people.
