   • 1888, Антон Чехов, “II”, in Степь; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Steppe, 1919:

     Над осокой пролетели знакомые три бекаса, и в их писке слышались тревога и досада, что их согнали с ручья.

     Nad osokoj proleteli znakomyje tri bekasa, i v ix piske slyšalisʹ trevoga i dosada, što ix sognali s ručʹja.
