Another example from ST5:

Yes, that's the one I was referring to. I type it so often, sometimes I get tired of doing so.
And while we’re on the topic, here are some more ways of using law’/puS (I’ve bracketed the introductory phrase/clause) :
<jonlu'meH> wo'maj pop tIn law' Hoch tIn puS Our Empire's highest bounty has been placed on his head. (ST5 notes)
I wonder if this isn't using *jonlu'meH wo'maj pop* as a noun phrase. Instead of /In order to capture, our empire's reward is the biggest,/ it's /our empire reward for capturing./ Actually, I'd prefer to see it as *wo'maj jonmeH pop,* but Okrand's purpose clauses are all pretty weird for /Star Trek V./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
