gzb doesn't.  I thought at first of Esperanto "super-" used prefixively,
but I'm not sure it has the same effect on the argument structure
of the verb as English "out-".

I added this to the

http://conlang.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_derivation_methods

as "To VERB more than / to a greater degree than NOUN".
The subject stays the same, the object of comparison becomes
the direct object, and the direct object (if any) is dropped.
