1918, Stephen Rudnicki, Ukraine, the Land and Its People: An Introduction to Its Geography, page 19:
Only at a point where a river, a streamlet, even a balka (step-glen, ravine) opens into the sea, is the steep incline of the steppe-plateau broken. […] This sea-water lake is called liman in Ukrainian. Wherever a stream of great volume empties into a liman, the bar is severed at one or more places.

Its rising provided conditions for the formation of liman valleys along the coast. As well, meltwaters from the ice cap produced ponding, with excess water that either spilled over the low points of divides or flowed along the ice[…]

Fig.5.12 The Akhtanizovsky liman delta arm […] certain limans, particularly those fed by river water, continued to decline naturally, whereas the square area of swamps, contrastingly, continued to increase. The first significant anthropogenic changes in the size and natural regime of the limans and flooded areas were initially connected with artificial changes in flow direction […]

The limans (estuaries) were produced by the drowning of the river valleys due to the sinking of the land. The liman deposits are not covered by loess; so the limans should have been formed in the post-glacial time.
1958, Moskovskoe obshchestvo ispytateleĭ prirody, Bulletin of the Moscow Society for Natural Research, Geological Section:
Kudryavtseva asked for an explanation of reference of the Ural bauxites to lacustrine-liman deposits. No data on temperature and acidity existing during the formation of bauxites were given in the classification.
1970, Evgenii︠a︡ Nikolaevna Ivanova, Genesis and Classification of Semidesert Soils:
These terrigenous sediments wedge-out inland, toward the rivers as well as northward, giving way to deluvial and shallow-lake (liman) deposits, and occasionally to reddish eluvial Baku clay.
1983, International Union for Quaternary Research, Congress, Abstracts:
The thin alluvium and liman deposits corresponding to the third, short phase of the Akchagylian ingression, are inset in the middle Akchagylian deposits.
1997, Eurasian Soil Science:
In these conditions, the neoformation of clay minerals could develop in liman deposits.
2011 January 1, Ilya Val Buynevich, Geology and Geoarchaeology of the Black Sea Region: Beyond the Flood Hypothesis, Geological Society of America, →ISBN, page 73:
Neoeuxinian alluvial, alluvial-deltaic, and liman deposits are everywhere on the recent shelf. Silt, sand, clay, and peat are common within the upper part of the sequences, but the bottom parts[…]
