<p>Not so fast! Who says that <b>DaH</b> is modifying <b>vabDot</b>
in that sentence?</p>
<p>I think it's perfectly possible that each adverbial should be
considered to modify the entire sentence including all the other
adverbials. So in <b>DaH vabDot bISuvqangbe'</b> we have:</p>
<p><b>DaH</b> modifies <b>vabDot bISuvqangbe':<br>
</b><i>Now, you are even willing to fight.</i></p>
<p><b>vabDot</b> modifies <b>DaH bISuvqangbe':<br>
</b><i>It is even the case that you are willing to fight now.</i></p>
<p>If this is correct, then this sentence is not evidence that
adverbials directly modify each other the way you're supposing.
Don't jump to conclusions.<br>
