1956, Самуил Маршак, Письма (1950—1964) (Собрание сочинений в 8 томах), published 1972:Но скажи́те ей, пожа́луйста, что никто́ в то́чности не изобрази́л бу́квами зву́ки, кото́рые издаёт у́тка. Мо́жет быть, э́ти зву́ки бо́льше похо́жи на «кря-кря́», а мо́жет быть, и на «га-га-га́».- No skažíte jej, požálujsta, što niktó v tóčnosti ne izobrazíl búkvami zvúki, kotóryje izdajót útka. Móžet bytʹ, éti zvúki bólʹše poxóži na «krja-krjá», a móžet bytʹ, i na «ga-ga-gá».
- But please tell her that nobody has been able to exactly represent using letters the sounds that a duck makes. Maybe these sounds are more like “quack-quack”, but they might be more like “ga-ga-ga”.
