Ah, ok.

It would have to be {ne ne'i} then, because it is the picture,
not the seeing that occurs in the book.

It could be, but I think {xabju jbini} works too. Especially since
{xabju} is not really the ideal word, I didn't want it as the
main brivla. I think the idea is that I spent a lot of time
being around grown-ups, but that's not really {xabju} (nor {jmive},
of course).
