Examples

“Amishwomen who sell⟳ quilts on consignment through non-Amish outlets will not deal⟳ with retail shops that are open⟳ on Sundays. They worry⟳ that customers might purchase⟳ one of their items on the Lord’s Day and thus implicate them in its desecration.”

“Old Order⟳ Amishwomen wear⟳ plain-cut dresses fitted loosely at the waist and sometimes fashioned with a capelike appendage over the bodice.”

“Gloria stared at the white cotton nightgown, similar to the ones she’d often worn, and the length of Leona’s hair, which, like⟳ all Old Order⟳ Amishwomen’s, had never been cut⟳, only trimmed.”
