    • 1869, Иван Гончаров, “Часть I. Глава VII”, in Обрыв; English translation from Stephen Pearl, transl., Malinovka Heights, Alma Classics, 2020:
      Полы́ бы́ли вы́крашены, натё́рты во́ском и у́стланы клеё́нками; пе́чи обло́жены пё́стрыми, стари́нными, то́же взя́тыми из большо́го до́ма, изразца́ми.
      Polý býli výkrašeny, natjórty vóskom i ústlany klejónkami; péči oblóženy pjóstrymi, starínnymi, tóže vzjátymi iz bolʹšóvo dóma, izrazcámi.
      The floors were painted, waxed, and covered with linoleum. The stoves were decorated with brilliantly coloured antique tiles also brought in from the big house.
