Suppose I write:

vabDot Dochvam je'qang verengan

There are three possible interpretations based on context:

1. Even a ferengi would be willing to buy this thing

2. A ferengi would be even willing to buy this thing

3. A ferengi would be willing to buy even this thing

Now suppose that instead of the adverb {vabDot} we use the adverb {chaq}/{tlhoS}:

chaq/thoS wej qama' HoHpu' wa'maH yaS

Again, in a similar to {vabDot} manner, there are three possible interpretations based on context:

1. Perhaps/almost ten officers killed three prisoners

2. Ten officers perhaps/almost killed three prisoners

3. Ten officers killed perhaps/almost three prisoners

Of course "perhaps"/"almost" is/are different from "approximately". But the conclusion I'm getting at is that..

We *can* use {chaq} and {tlhoS} with the intention that -if the context's right- they can be understood as applying to the subject/object instead of the verb, the way {vabDot} does.

Right?
