Since I have been puzzling over the same questions, comparatives and
superlatives other than {yaS jaq law' Hoch jaq pus}, I cannot help but throw
in my two cents worth on this item.
Very often while I am still looking for an answer closer to my
English-thinking mind, I have used the Verb Suffixes {-chu} and {-qu'}.
Thus, {qIbDaq QaQchu' 'oH HIqvam'e'} is my offer. Also, it appears that
incomplete sentences in tlhIngan Hol are problematic. So, I have arbitrarily
made the Klingon translation into a complete sentence.
