   • 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:

     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.
