  1. Jamaican
    • 1887, Николай Лесков, “Глава восьмая”, in Грабёж; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., A Robbery, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:
      Дья́кон отвеча́ет:
      — Отчего́ же нет: мне э́то рели́гия допуска́ет, но на́до бы чи́стым яма́йским ро́мом подкрепи́ться — от него́ раска́т в грудя́х ши́ре идё́т.
      Dʹjákon otvečájet:
      — Otčevó že net: mne éto relígija dopuskájet, no nádo by čístym jamájskim rómom podkrepítʹsja — ot nevó raskát v grudjáx šíre idjót.
      The deacon says:
      “Why not? It’s allowed me by religion, but I’ll have to fortify myself with pure Jamaican rum—it expands the resounding in the chest.”
