Examples

“Ni las moças més jovas y més polidas sabían cossarse com ella 's cossava, ni remenar el cos com ella 'l movía, ni posarse al cap, en comptes del caputxot, un mocadoret com el qu'ella duya, tan petit, petit, y tan cargoladet a la lligada, que per devant deixava veure tota la clenxa partida, y per derrera las trenas de color encès.”

Not even the youngest and most polished girls knew how to hold her body the way she held her body, nor to sway her body the way she moved it, nor to wear on her head, in place of a headdress, a small kerchief like she wore, so small, small and so curled in the knot that from the front all of the parting was visible and from behind the flaming tresses.
