Well, basically. In parallel with the superlative formula, except instead
of X and Hoch, I contrasted time/situation stamps, taHmeH and reH.

    DaHjaj bIlbo' yoH law' wa'Hu' bIlbo' yoH puS
    Today Bilbo is braver than yesterday.

    DaHjaj bIlbo' yoH law' reH bIlbo' yoH puS
    Today Bilbo is the bravest he ever was.

    taHmeH bIlbo' yoH law' reH bIlbo' yoH puS
    To continue, Bilbo is the bravest he ever was.

Hmm, I guess I could replace the second Bilbo with a ghaH, but I'm not sure
if that'd make it any clearer.
