1992, David K. Jordan, Being Colloquial in Esperanto (in English), Boston: University Press of America, page 107:A few speakers seem to distinguish between being physically old (maljuna) and being old in one's manner or point of view (olda).

However, this distinction between olda and maljuna is only emergent and is not consistently observed.
