My first thought was simply to combine the two thoughts: yaS mang je yoH law' jagh yoH puS ... but I don't think we've ever seen two nouns compared with one noun. We know that you can preface the law'/puS formula with a subordinate clause or time/place stamp. Perhaps you can do it with an adverbial such as {vabDot} "moreover, furthermore, even, in addition": yaS yoH law' jagh yoH puS; vabDot mang yoH law' jagh yoH puS. ... which makes the second comparison sound like an afterthought. So far, SuStel's suggestion is the only one supported by canon. We've seen -- only once AFAIK -- two law'/puS formulas used in one sentence connected by {'ej} : <DujvamDaq tlhIngan nuH tu'lu'bogh> pov law' Hoch pov puS 'ej <DujvamDaq 'op SuvwI' tu'lu'bogh> po' law' <tlhIngan yo' SuvwI' law'> po' puS It [IKC Pagh] has the best weapons and some of the finest warriors in the Klingon fleet. (S7) I've <bracketed> the noun phrases being compared in this very complicated sentence. Did you notice the extra {law'} in the third noun phrase?
