I appear to be suffering a relapse of the urge to nominalize everything. The
problem is, there are so few adverbs in Klingon, you almost _must_ use nouns
to get around it. Does anyone have suggestions? My worst problems are with
things like "best" and "worst."

If I wanted to say "He is the best fighter." :
SuvmeH ghaH QaQ law' Hoch QaQ puS
and conversely for "He is the worst fighter":
SuvmeH Hoch QaQ law' ghaH QaQ puS
or is there a much simpler way of stating the ideas of "better" and "worse"?
