vIyajbe'qu'!
{DaH} means 'now', and I thought {pIq} was used as {<duration> pIq}
meaning '<duration> from now, forwards in time' (e.g. 'in two hours').
So I parse the above as 'now from now' which does not make sense. So
there is something I have misunderstood, I'm afraid.
The examples with generations and honorable battles make perfect
sense, though.
