With the hopefully-2.17.11 syntax this would be

{
  \time 6/8
  \tuplet 4/6 4. { e16 fis g gis a ais b b }
}

Now this still is mathematics.  It seems closer to the kind of
mathematics you'd use in music.  Though I am not sure I'd not prefer

{
  \time 6/8
  \tuplet 2/3 4. { e16[ fis] g[ gis] a[ ais] b[ b] }
}

instead, but admittedly, that has a slightly different accent structure.
