You're using "fourth year," but to me "fourth year" is counting years as they occur, not counting them backwards.
I see your point. Unfortunately, I can't think of an alternate way of saying it.
Unless we wrote:
{tagh noH, 'ej ghIq -qaSDI' loS DIS- bogh} the war begun, and then -as soon as four years had happened- he was born
What is your opinion on this approach ?
I like it better, though I wouldn't fiddle with interruptions like that. *taghpu' noH; qaSpu' loS DIS; boghpu' ghaH*/The war began; four years occurred; he was born./ You can then refer to that time as *ngugh.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
