1847, Фёдор Достоевский , “Часть первая. I”, in Хозяйка; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Landlady, 1914:Неподалёку была́ изба́; во́зле неё два сто́га се́на; ма́ленькая круторёбрая лошадёнка, понуря го́лову, с отви́слой губо́й, стоя́ла без у́пряжи по́дле двуколёсной тарата́йки, каза́лось об чём-то разду́мывая.- Nepodaljóku bylá izbá; vózle nejó dva stóga séna; málenʹkaja krutorjóbraja lošadjónka, ponurja gólovu, s otvísloj gubój, stojála bez úprjaži pódle dvukoljósnoj taratájki, kazálosʹ ob čom-to razdúmyvaja.
- Not far away was a cottage; and near it stood two haystacks; a little horse with prominent ribs was standing unharnessed, with drooping head and lip thrust out, beside a little two-wheeled gig, and seemed to be pondering over something.
