>{wejmaH Soch ben jIngIpta'} (I was born 37 years ago}, which seems (to me)
the best way ?

Aside from a wrong word (ngIp is "borrow", right below "be born" in TDK), for 
the most part, jIQochbe'; 'ach chaq lugh *wejmaH Soch ben jIboghpu'* "37 years 
ago, I was born".

I used -pu' because do you really accomplish being born? This is a theological 
point beyond this list - safer to stick with -pu'.

And is putting a number + noun clause at the head of the sentence the proper 
way to indicate time frame? I'm not certain, but it feels right.

ben 'ar bIboghpu'? cha'maH Hut ben jIboghpu'.
