   • 1937 [1719], Daniel Defoe, translated by Зяма Раманавіч Півавараў, edited by Janka Maŭr, Жыццё і дзіўныя небывалыя прыгоды Рабінзона Крузо [The life and astonishing adventures of Robinson Crusoe], Minsk: ДВБ, translation of Robinson Crusoe, page 43:

     Што тычыцца той птушкі, якую я забіў, то, по-мойму, гэта была рознавіднасць нашага ястраба: яна вельмі нагадвала ястраба афарбоўкай пер'яў ды формай дзюбы, толькі кіпці ў яе былі куды карацей. Яе мяса пахла падлай, і я не мог яго есці.

     Što tyčycca toj ptuški, jakuju ja zabiŭ, to, po-mojmu, heta byla róznavidnascʹ našaha jastraba: jana vjelʹmi nahadvala jastraba afarbóŭkaj pjerʺjaŭ dy fórmaj dzjuby, tólʹki kipci ŭ jaje byli kudy karacjej. Jaje mjasa paxla padlaj, i ja nje moh jahó jesci.

     [original: As for the creature I killed, I took it to be a kind of hawk, its colour and beak resembling it, but it had no talons or claws more than common. Its flesh was carrion, and fit for nothing.]

     As for the bird I killed, I took it to be a kind of our hawk, its colour and beak shape resembling it, but it had much shorter talons. Its flesh smelled like carrion, and I couldn't eat it.
