  (I know the arguments against this interpretation, but just throwing it out there).

The idea is new to me. If someone could quickly sketch or point the arguments, I would be grateful.

Compare how to say with one interpretation what you can say with the other. So:

(1) I run for two hours.
1A mi bajra ze'a lo cacra be li re
1B mi bajra ze'e lo cacra be li re

(2) I run for a small/medium/large fraction of the two hours.
2A mi bajra ze'a pi so'u/so'o/so'i lo cacra be li re
2B mi bajra ze'i/ze'a/ze'u lo cacra be li re

(3) I run for a mere/the longest/a neverending two hours.
3A mi bajra ze'i/ze'u/ze'e lo cacra be li re
3B mi bajra ze'e lo tordu/clani/cimni cacra be li re

So basically for ZEhA you can get by with either system. (1) is the only one that really needs to be covered, the rest are frills.

(4) I woke up two hours before you.
4A mi cikybi'o pu tu'a do za lo cacra be li re 
4B ???

(5) I woke up two hours ago.
5A mi cikybi'o pu za lo cacra be li re
5B ???
