    • 1893, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], “IX”, in Рассказ неизвестного человека; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., An Anonymous Story, 1917:
      Зинаи́да Фёдоровна, что́бы не ви́деть По́ли, обе́дала и пила́ чай у себя́ в ко́мнате, тут же и спала́ на коро́тком дива́не, похо́жем на бу́кву Э, и сама́ убира́ла за собо́й посте́ль.
      Zinaída Fjódorovna, štóby ne vídetʹ Póli, obédala i pilá čaj u sebjá v kómnate, tut že i spalá na korótkom diváne, poxóžem na búkvu E, i samá ubirála za sobój postélʹ.
      To avoid seeing Polya, Zinaida Fyodorovna dined and had tea in her own room; it was here that she slept, too, on a short sofa like a half-moon, and she made her own bed.
