<p dir="ltr">ok, wait a second.. an adverb can refer to the verb of a {-bogh} thing (or clause) ?</p>
<p dir="ltr">so far I believed that an adverb can only refer to the main verb of a sentence !</p>
<p dir="ltr">lets write an example</p>
<p dir="ltr">reH bo'Degh Sopbogh vIghro''e' legh Human.<br>
the human always sees the cat which eats the bird.</p>
<p dir="ltr">this is the only meaning I thought was possible !</p>
<p dir="ltr">is it possible in this sentence the {reH} to refer to the {Sopbogh} thus giving the meaning "the human sees the cat which always eats the bird" ?</p>

<p dir="ltr">but indeed, all this is speculation; however if it is an adverb then it *has* to refer to the {boSuqlaH}, right ? it is the only verb of the sentence it would be able to refer to. the other verb is the {Qej}, which is entangled in the {-bogh} thing (I don't know the grammar term), so it cannot be referring to that..</p></blockquote><div>The {-bogh} thing is a relative clause. And relative clauses can take adverbials; for instance, {nom lengbogh Duj} "ship that travels quickly" is how you say "fast ship". In the Monopoly sentence, {vabDot} could theoretically apply to either verb. We know it goes with {boSuqlaH} because the alternative "Earth, which even the puny Federation cherishes" makes less sense in context.<br></div></div><br></div></div>
