What it means
Open English WordNet defines lemmas, and vowed is not one of them. The nearest lemma it does define is vow — a solemn pledge (to oneself or to another or to a deity) to do something or to behave in a certain manner. The rule that found it is on the sources page; nothing here claims a grammatical relation.
