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
