    • 1938 [1848], Charles Dickens, anonymous translator, Домбі і сын, Minsk: ДВБ, translation of Dombey and Son, page 341:
      Брудны кнот спачатку гарэў цмяна пад аплываючым тлушчам; калі-ж мутныя і аслабшыя вочы старой здолелі нешта разгледзець пры гэтым святле, госця ўжо сядзела, склаўшы накрыж рукі і апусціўшы вочы, а хустка, якая была завязана на галаве, ляжала каля яе на стале.
      Brudny knot spačatku hareŭ cmjana pad aplyvajučym tluščam; kali-ž mutnyja i aslabšyja vóčy starój zdóljeli nješta razhljedzjecʹ pry hetym svjatlje, hóscja ŭžo sjadzjela, sklaŭšy nakryž ruki i apusciŭšy vóčy, a xustka, jakaja byla zavjazana na halavje, ljažala kalja jaje na stalje.
      [original: Its dirty wick burnt dimly at first, being choked in its own grease; and when the bleared eyes and failing sight of the old woman could distinguish anything by its light, her visitor was sitting with her arms folded, her eyes turned downwards, and a handkerchief she had worn upon her head lying on the table by her side.]
