I agree with Lieven. The original question sounds like you're trying to be approximate. Embrace the inaccuracy! Is there some reason that it is important that it has not yet been a complete year? If so, then you are going to have to make that point separately.<br>

Yes, that's my opinion too.<br>

<br>
I think the problem here is not the word order, but the question whether <br>
{tlhoS} can modify the time stamp. I think it cannot. From my feeling, <br>
the adverbial modifies the entire sentence, so the meaning would remain <br>
"last year, something almost happened".<br>
<br>

<br>
I would try to make it two sentences: one for the event, one for the <br>
time that's not finished yet.<br>
<br>
{wa' ben [something happens], 'ach wej qaS wanI' DISjaj.}<br>
