"barely just" is a very informal colloquial expression, which doesn't seem appropriate for this classical word.
"barely just" also would be inappropriate for periods as long as two years, as in the first of the following examples:

甫回國兩年的彭廣林也有同感。
Back in Taiwan for only two years, Peng complains:

目前她甫卸下台北市女性權益促進會理事長的職務
She has recently stepped down as chairwoman of the Taipei Association for the Promotion of Women's Rights
Diff:
- 甫 甫 [fu3] /(classical) barely just/just now/
+ 甫 甫 [fu3] /(classical) barely/just/just now/
