I'm not quite sure I understand the subject.
But if indeed I understand what we are trying to say, then why not use:
{loS maH ben jIbogh. ngugh..} forty years ago I was born. then..
or
{loS maH ben jIbogh. qaSpa' wanI'vam..} forty years ago I was born. before that event (i.e. my birth) happened..
The question is, how would you describe an event at a time a known period before or after an event whose time was NOT known?
How would you describe *ten years before he was born* if you don't know when he was born, but you do know the event happened ten years before that?
