I think depiction is a different issue, though:

Using prototype-style lo'e (which I could maybe live with, though
I think the statistical one is better):
        ti pixra da poi simsa lo'e since
        ti pixra lo simsa be lo'e since
works, I think.

And probably better:
        ti pixra lo ckaji be leka since
or
        ti pixra lo ckaji be lesi'o since

And finally, for *real* usage:
        ti since pixra
