-vaD, I thought, meant "for, intended for." One example given in TKD is, of course,
Qu'vaD lI' net tu'bej - One clearly finds the information useful for the mission.
So you could construct sentences like
naDev SoHvaD qutluch tu'lu'bej - There is an assassin's knife here that is clearly intended for you. (perhaps the Klingon equivalent of "a bullet with one's name on it").
and
quvvaD jISuvtaH 'ej jIHeghbej - For honour, I shall fight and shall most certainly die.
