Examples

“1893, V. Ŝekspir (William Shakespeare), Hamleto regido de Danujo: Tragedio en kvin aktoj, tr. by L. Zamenhof, page 114. Jes, jes, kaj nun li estas apartenaĵo de sinjoro vermo; sendenta kaj batata sur la vangojn per la fosilo de tombisto. Why, e’en so. And now my Lady Worm’s, chapless and knocked about the mazard with a sexton’s spade.”

(literally, “Yes, yes, and now it’s the property of Mister Worm; toothless and beaten on the cheek with the shovel of a gravedigger.”)

“Per hakilo ni hakas, per segilo ni segas, per fosilo ni fosas, per kudrilo ni kudras, per tondilo ni tondas, per sonorilo ni sonorigas, per fajfilo ni fajfas.”
