- 15th century, Alexandreida, zlomek budějovickomuzejní:
- Ten pro zběstvo, pro chudobu
sěm hi tamo točě sobú
jakžto trest, jam vieter pochýlí,
tam taký člověk sě schýlí.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
Usage notes
- It is found together with tamo in comparative sentences, similarly as jako... tako.... The word jamo as well as other adverbs on "j-" were already in Old Czech often replaced by "k-" adverbs – which served as interrogative as well as relative adverbs. The only exceptions are kak(o), which was eventually replaced by jak(o) in modern Czech, and jelik(o), which got a different meaning as jelikož.
