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

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.
