You can start your pennance by remembering that only verbs expressing a
quality go in law'/puS. {rInmoH} is not a verb of quality. In fact, I'm not
even entirely sure what you're trying to say. "Ignoring the KLBC rules is
more <something> than dishonorable death." It should be {Hegh quvbe'};
{batlhHa'} is an adverbial, which cannot modify a noun.
