    • 1930, Владимир Набоков, chapter 3, in Защита Лужина; English translation from Michael Scammell in collaboration with the author, transl., The Luzhin Defense, New York, 1964:
      «Уйдём куда-нибудь», — зашептала тётя, красная, притихшая, с бегающими глазами, — и они оказались в кабинете, где над кожаным креслом проходил конус лучей, в котором вертелись пылинки.
      «Ujdjóm kuda-nibudʹ», — zašeptala tjótja, krasnaja, pritixšaja, s begajuščimi glazami, — i oni okazalisʹ v kabinete, gde nad kožanym kreslom proxodil konus lučej, v kotorom vertelisʹ pylinki.
      “Let’s go away somewhere,” whispered his aunt in an embarrassed and nervous manner, and they entered the study where a band of sunbeams, in which spun tiny particles of dust, was focused on an overstuffed armchair.
