  1. Prussian, Old Prussian
    • 2013, Владимир Сорокин, chapter XXI, in Теллурия, Corpus; English translation from Max Lawton, transl., Telluria, New York Review Books, 2022:
      Взя́вши молотки́ в свои́ ру́ки, пло́тники слегка́ по́дня́ли их, как приве́тственно поднима́ют пру́сские ма́ршалы свои́ же́злы, и за́мерли.
      Vzjávši molotkí v svoí rúki, plótniki slexká pódnjáli ix, kak privétstvenno podnimájut prússkije máršaly svoí žézly, i zámerli.
      Picking up their hammers, the carpenters raised them very slightly into the air, just as Prussian marshals used to raise their batons, and froze.
