  1. flute, recorder
    • 1844, Sándor Petőfi, translated by John Ridland, János vitéz‎, chapter 4, stanza 2:
      Megállt, elővette kedves furulyáját, / Kezdte rajta fújni legbúsabb nótáját; / A harmat, mely ekkor ellepett fűt, bokort, / Tán a szánakozó csillagok könnye volt.
      He paused, and he drew out his cherished flute, / And started to whisper his saddest tune through it; / The dew, as it settled on bushes and grass, / Might have been the stars weeping for Johnny, alas.
