The first bits - <law' Sormey>, etc. - are complete sentences: "The trees
are many". The second bits - <wa' ngem> - are not. This lack of symmetry is
disturbing somehow. 

You could put the <law'> after the nouns - <Sormey law'> - and just make the
sentence into a noun phrase. You could also make the second bits into
complete sentences.
