Kamoitti häntä myös hirveästi heidän oma saunansa, johon oli äsken kuollut vanha ruoti-ukko, vaahtopartainen Honkamäen Iisakki.- She was also terrified of their own sauna, where an old pauper had just died, white-bearded Iisakki Honkamäki.
1950, Lauri Viita, Moreeni, WSOY, published 1973, →ISBN, page 61:—Ei pikku Iisakki turhasta nenäänsä ota, Paavali vakuutti.
—Erkki se on, eikä mikään Iisakki! tohahti Sylvi.
Joosefiina:—Minä olen ajatellut, että siitä pitäisi tehdä Voitto.
Sylvi:—Niin ja mun Tappelu!
Kalle:—Tappelu, tehdään siitä tappelu!
Paavali:—Olkoon sitten Erkki Voitto Iisakki, ettei tule sitä tappelua!
Joosefiina:—Sano nyt sinäkin, isä, jotakin!
Sylvi:—Sano, isä, että se on Erkki!
Iisakki:—Ihmisen nimihän se lienee, ja niin taitaa olla Iisakkikin, jos muuten kelpaa.
Joosefiina:—Mitä sinä semmoisia puhut; olisihan se ennenkin kelvannut, jos olisit ehdottanut.- —Little Iisakki won't get angry over meaningless things, Paavali reassured.
—It's Erkki, not some Iisakki! Sylvi angrily said.
Joosefiina:—I had thought he should be named Voitto.
Sylvi:—Yes and my Tappelu!
Kalle:—Tappelu, let's make it a fight!
Paavali:—He shall be Erkki Voitto Iisakki then, no need to fight!
Joosefiina:—Father, you say something too!
Sylvi:—Yes, father, say his name is Erkki!
Iisakki:—Well, that is a man's name, and so is Iisakki, if that is otherwise fine.
Joosefiina:—What are you talking about; it would've been fine if you had suggested it.
