How would one say "I am bigger than you." Somehow, I don't like
*{jIH tIn law' SoH tIn puS}
Suppose it's *{jItIn law' bItIn puS} where {law'} and {puS} really are
something like "be greater than, be less than," respectively, in such
a construction. Maybe the subject-verb syntax is not another isolated
incident since we did find that Okrand asserted a similar odd syntax when
dealing with the optative suffix {-jaj}.
I don't expect anyone to be able to validate or invalidate any of these
theories; I'd just like a little feedback.
That's all
