    • 1860, J. L. Runeberg, translated by K. Kiljander, Nadeschda: Yhdeksæn laulua Johan Ludvig Runebergiltæ, Kuopio, Kahdeksas Laulu, using Wolmar Schildt's proposed orthography, page 71:
      Koska tuossa hæn epäillen vîpŷ,
      Itsekiusâjana onnetonna,
      Hæilytetty lîkutuksiltansa,
      Pæivæ laskeksen ja ilta nousê

      [Koska tuossa hän epäillen viipyy,
      Itsekiusaajana onnetonna,
      Häilytetty liikutuksiltansa,
      Päivä laskeksen ja ilta nousee
      Maan ylitse rusko-siivillänsä.]
      There he stays in doubt,
      an unhappy man bothering himself,
      rocked by his own emotions,
      as the sun sets and evening rises
      above the earth with its brown wings.
  2. miserable (which brings (only) misery)
  3. very poor, terrible, wretched
