You are forgetting the Q in:

A Q law' B Q puS.

A is Qer than B.

There has to be some verb of quality being used here. You don't 
have one. That's why I had the problem in the first place. The 
verb {Sov} is not a verb of quality, and if you meant to use 
{Sov} as the noun "knowledge", then you still don't have a verb 
of quality.
