>{vay' law'taH X-bogh}.

In {law'taH vay' ghajbogh} the subject is {vay' ghajbogh}, i.e. "something 
which he has". The clause says that something which he has law'taH, i.e. 
continues to be numerous. The clause might be rephrased as {law'taHbogh vay' 
ghaj}, i.e. he has something that continues to be numerous. As for
{vay' law'taH ghajbogh}, hmmm ... it doesn't seem right.
