    • 1856, Лев Толстой [Leo Tolstoy], chapter III, in Утро помещика; English translation from Leo Wiener, transl., A Morning of a Landed Proprietor, 1904:
      В середи́не э́той чё́рной, смра́дной шестиарши́нной избё́нки, в потолке́, была́ больша́я щель, и, несмотря́ на то, что в двух места́х стоя́ли подпо́рки, потоло́к так погну́лся, что, каза́лось, с мину́ты на мину́ту угрожа́л разруше́нием.
      V seredíne étoj čórnoj, smrádnoj šestiaršínnoj izbjónki, v potolké, bylá bolʹšája ščelʹ, i, nesmotrjá na to, što v dvux mestáx stojáli podpórki, potolók tak pognúlsja, što, kazálosʹ, s minúty na minútu ugrožál razrušénijem.
      In the middle of this black, ill-smelling, eighteen-foot hut there was a large crack in the ceiling, and although supports were put in two places, the ceiling was so bent that it threatened to fall down any minute.
