Unfortunately, no. It would be a highly useful construct, but it's not
there; you have to recast.
Also, we have no indication that you can use active verbs in a law'/puS
comparison. How about {<Esperanto> vIjatlhbogh QaQ law' tlhIngan Hol
vIjatlhbogh QaQ puS} : "The Esperanto which I speak is better than the
Klingon which I speak"?
