It seems we have a way to say "X is more something than Y", but we don't
have a way to say "X is less something than Y".
I wonder if it would work if you put {-'e'} on second half of the
sentence to indicate a "less than" comparison.
E.g. la' jaq law' yaS jaq puS. The commander is bolder than the officer.
la' jaq law' yaS'e' jaq puS. The officer is less bold than the commander.
What do y'all think?
