I was thinking about mass nouns as well.
*Huch law' vIghaj.
cha' Doj tu'lu'.
law' Dojvam Huch. law'wI' Doj 'oH.
puS Dojvam Huch. puSwI' Doj 'oH.*
I think this makes sense. Of course, you're not likely to put *-pu'* on
a mass noun. And /masses/ is the plural of /mass,/ and a mass (of
people) isn't a being capable of using language, so it won't get *-pu'.*

<p>I think this makes sense. Of course, you're not likely to put <b>-pu'</b>
on a mass noun. And <i>masses</i> is the plural of <i>mass,</i>
and a mass (of people) isn't a being capable of using language, so
it won't get <b>-pu'.</b><br>
