2018, Pirjo Hassinen, Parit, Otava, →ISBN, pages 211–212:Ja vielä: kykenenkö lausumaan ääneen hänen isänsä ja äitinsä etunimet ilman että minusta tuntuu kiusalliselta. Sillä oli ollut Merjoja ja Marjoja, joiden nimen lausuminen oli kuin kylkiluiden väliin työnnettäisiin sormea. Sitten oli tullut Tarja. Nimen ympärille oli alkanut kertyä jotain, kuin pumpulia tai samettia.- And still: could I say the father's and the mother's names out loud without feeling awkward. There had been Merjas and Marjas, and pronouncing those out loud felt like something pushing a finger between your ribs. Then there was Tarja.
