    • 1909, Gamalnorsk ordbok: med nynorsk tyding‎[1], page 3:
      Lange utgreidingar turvtest ogso mindre her, med di nynorsken i so mange høve hev dei same ordi enno.
      Long explanations are also less necessary here, given that Modern Norwegian in so many cases still retains the same words.
