    • c. 1700, Jerolim Kavańin, edited by Josip Aranza, Poviest vanđelska bogatoga a nesrećna Epuluna i ubogoga a čestita Lazara (Stari pisci hrvatski)‎[1], Zagreb: JAZU, published 1913, XXIII, 46., page 507:
      Čini razlog, da ti 'e strašno
      dano viedit jezerište,
      i sve gore u ńem lasno
      da ti 'e sbacat, ne bi nište
      nigdar ńega napunio,
      er bez dna se učinio.
      It makes it terrible
      to apprehend this great lake,
      and all the burdens into it
      if you were to throw, you'd
      never fill it up,
      for it appears to be without a bottom.
