BTW notice the repetition of the subject phrase {SuvwI'pu' law'}
"many warriors" in the main clause(s).


It seems to me less like repeating a subject and more like describing
a second subject with the same words. If it were the same {SuvwI'pu'
law'} in both sentences, I would expect a different conjunction.
I expect this is correct. "SOME of your warriors die and SOME of them are injured." The ones that are injured are not the ones that died.
