only five minutes ago, I saw the cat ? or just five minutes ago, I saw the cat ? or both ?
What’s the difference between those two, in English?
My instinct would be to render the phrase as {vagh tup neH ret}, as you have, but I could also see it being {vagh tup ret neH}, since {ret} is a noun and it’s possible that the {neH} should bind to the time expression as a whole, but I do think it makes more sense for it to bind to the duration itself.
I think it should be {vagh tup ret neH}, though that's just my intuition. My justification is that {tup ret} "binds together" quite strongly, and acts as if it were a single word, like {Hu'}.
