    • 1877, Лев Толстой , “Часть VI Глава VIII”, in Анна Каренина; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Anna Karenina, 1901:
      Ла́ска подскочи́ла к нему́, поприве́тствовала его́, попры́гав, спроси́ла у него́ по-сво́ему, ско́ро ли вы́йдут те, но, не получи́в от него́ отве́та, верну́лась на свой пост ожида́ния и опя́ть замерла́, поверну́в на́бок го́лову и насторожи́в одно́ у́хо.
      Láska podskočíla k nemú, poprivétstvovala jevó, poprýgav, sprosíla u nevó po-svójemu, skóro li výjdut te, no, ne polučív ot nevó otvéta, vernúlasʹ na svoj post ožidánija i opjátʹ zamerlá, povernúv nábok gólovu i nastorožív odnó úxo.
      Laska flew up to him, welcomed him, and jumping up, asked him in her own way whether the others were coming soon, but getting no answer from him, she returned to her post of observation and sank into repose again, her head on one side, and one ear pricked up to listen.
