jIH/SoH in comparatives

I have found two canon comparatives in which {jIH} or {SoH} fills the 'A' or 
'B' position of the formula "A Q law' B Q puS".  And I realized that A and B 
are not subjects of Q at all, even though Q is a verb.  Just one more odd thing 
about law'/puS comparatives.  
Having said that, has anyone ever used something like {bItIn law' jItIn puS} 
instead of {SoH tIn law' jIH tIn puS}?
