Adverbials and adverbs don't always just have to refer to the verb if the sentence. Often they modify the whole sentence and not only the verb. So {vabDot} could simply say something about the whole expression following it.

At this canon sentence:

Qo'noS romuluS je boSuqlaH. vabDot tera' Qejbogh DIvI' ram boSuqlaH.
kronos, romulus and even the puny federation's precious earth, are all
up for grabs.

The {vabDot} is referring to the {boSuqlaH}, right ?

If {vabDot} is an adverbial, then the English sentence implies that it applies to {boSuqlaH}.
If {vabDot} is a noun, then it goes with {tera'} in a genitive (noun-noun "possessive") relationship.

Without more examples or explicit revelation from the language's creator, we lack certainty.
