Klingon doesn't have adverbs; it has {chuvmey}, a subset of which are
"adverbials." That is, they are the set of {chuvmey} that act
adverbially. Some adverbial {chuvmey} act as time stamps.
TKD makes it quite clear that all of those {paq'batlh} examples employ
two adverbials.

{vaj} is also explicitly labeled as an adverbial, not a conjunction.
The question has always been whether Klingon syntax allows you to add
two or more adverbials to a verb, regardless of the semantics of those
adverbials. {paq'batlh} answers that with a resounding yes.
