"pu'o" works for temporal "almost", but not in general. It wouldn't
work for "almost white" for example.

"jibni vanci" is a type of "vanci", isn't it? But "almost X" is a type
of "not X", not a type of "X". You could use "vanci jibni" or "jibni
lo vanci" if you don't like "na ru'e". And you need to find something
for its companion "ja'a ru'e" = "barely", presumably "jibni na'e bo
..."
