арба́ • (arbá) f inan (genitive арбы́, nominative plural а́рбы, genitive plural арб)

1. araba (a horse- or bullock-drawn cart with two large wheels)
   • 1829, Alexander Pushkin, Тазит:

     В доро́гу ше́ствие гото́во, / И тро́нулась арба́. За ней / Адехи сле́дуют суро́во, / Смиря́я молча пыл коне́й...

     V dorógu šéstvije gotóvo, / I trónulasʹ arbá. Za nej / Adexi slédujut suróvo, / Smirjája molča pyl konéj...

     On the road the procession is ready and the cart has set off. The Adyge men follow grimly after it, silently subduing the ardor of the horses...

   • 1891, Антон Павлович Чехов (Anton Pavlovich Chekhov), “Дуэль”, in Новое время; republished as “The Duel”, in Larissa Volokhonsky, Richard Pevear, transl., The Complete Short Novels, 2004:

     Пррава! — крича́л во всё го́рло Само́йленко, когда́ попада́лась навстре́чу арба́ и́ли абха́зец верхо́м на осле́.

     Prrava! — kričál vo vsjo górlo Samójlenko, kogdá popadálasʹ navstréču arbá íli abxázec verxóm na oslé.

     "Keep r-r-right!" Samoilenko shouted at the top of his lungs whenever they met a native cart or an Abkhazian riding a donkey.

   • 1888, Антон Павлович Чехов (Anton Pavlovich Chekhov), “Красавицы”, in Новое время; republished as “The Beauties”, in Constance Garnett, transl., The Schoolmistress and other stories‎^{[IA (Macmillan edition)]}, Chatto & Windus, 1920, page 289:

     […] краси́во изгиба́ясь под тя́жестью хле́ба, она́ побежа́ла че́рез двор к гумну́, шмыгну́ла че́рез плете́нь и, окуну́вшись в о́блако золоти́стой поло́вы, скры́лась за а́рбами.

     […] krasívo izgibájasʹ pod tjážestʹju xléba, oná pobežála čérez dvor k gumnú, šmygnúla čérez pleténʹ i, okunúvšisʹ v óblako zolotístoj polóvy, skrýlasʹ za árbami.

     […] swaying gracefully under the weight of the bread, she ran across the yard to the threshing-floor, darted over the hurdle, and, wrapt in a cloud of golden chaff, vanished behind the carts.
