The law'/puS comparitive construction works only with verbs
"expressing a quality or condition". Trying to shoehorn an
active verb like {yaj} into it results in absolute garbage.
Not to mention the necessary {puS} you've been leaving out.
There, that makes complaints from at least three people about
your "exercise" -- you should stop it immediately before you
do some real damage. :-) Practicing something *wrong* is at
least as bad as, if not worse than, not practicing at all.
If you don't like charghwI''s recasting the law'/puS away,
how about this?
