[tlhIngan Hol] Something on the {vabDot}

[nIqolay Q]

Having said that, on the assumption that it is an adverbial meaning "even",
I think it would make sense for it to be modifying the {boSuqlaH}.
Otherwise, if it modified the relative clause, it would be something like
"You can obtain the Earth, which even the puny Federation cherishes".
