For any takers, how would the following be translated in Lojban?
1. I will be hungry until I eat.
2. I have been working since I woke.
3. The train (will) arrives in ten minutes.
4. The train departed ten minutes ago.
I note that balvi and purci don't have a place meaning "(later/earlier) by amount of time x3", which would make 3 & 4 pretty straightforward.
