I hesitate to declare this a rule, but it appears
that adverbs affect the first verb they come to. It's
hard to slip another adverb
in for the second verb when you're using {-bogh}
but you could do it for some of Voragh's other
suggestions, eg. {tlhoy' Doqqu'mo', loQ vIparHa'.}
"Because (it) is excessively red, I (only) like
it a little."
