Another example from ST5:

 

<qIbDaq SuvwI''e'> SoH Dun law' Hoch Dun puS
You would be the greatest warrior in the galaxy. (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.
