   • 1937, V. A. Tetjurev, translated by N. J. Molotsova, Loonnontiito oppikirja alkușkoulua vart (toin osa), Leningrad: Riikin Ucebno-Pedagogiceskoi Izdateljstva, page 20:

     Nagreskapussalle, kumpaa veel kutsutaa kolrabiks, kasvaa vaa ympyrkäin, lihakas kotsena, kumpa voittiijaa nagrehen, lantun tali turnuksen juuree, mut itse assiaas tämä kotsena ei oo juuri, a ono paksuntunt vars, kumpa ain ono maan pääl.

     On the turnip cabbage, which is also called kohlrabi, grows round, meaty cabbage stalk, which resembles a root of the turnip, swede or fodder turnip, but in reality this stalk isn't a root, but a thickened stem, which is always on the ground.
