The place structure is "x1 is the amount that x2 is the time interval from x3
to x4".
You forgot the units.
x1 is the quantity on scale x2 by which x3 is the time interval from x4 to x5
perhaps reversing the orderof x2 and x3
How one uses that, I can't imagine. For the elapsed time of an event,
I'd use {selra'i} or {teryre'i}.
ISTM that those are just another form of lo temci - they are intervals and
not measurements of intervals.
