[lojban] Translating "as"



This construction has come up a lot more recently, and I am drawing a blank how to translate it. It might not be translatable at all, but maybe someone has a good solution. Here are some examples using this particular usage of "as":

(1) I respect you as a friend.

(2) I study my dreams as symbolic imagery.

(3) We kept this day as a holiday.

(4) She appeared to them as a fairy this time.

I've tried a few things, among other things {kai} and {fi'o tarmi}, but I'm not content. Suggestions and ideas are welcome.
