   • Elizabeth Bible, Luke 9.29:

     И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ молѧ́шесѧ, видѣ́нїе лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆́но, и҆ ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїе є҆гѡ̀ бѣло̀ блиста́ѧсѧ.

     I býstĭ egdà molę́šesę, vidě́nije licà egò íno, i oděję́nije egò bělò blistájęsę.

     And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

This adjective needs an inflection-table template.
