    • 2002, Stephen Hammeken, Harry Potter Ujarallu Inuunartoq, Nuuk: Atuakkiorfik, translation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling, →ISBN, pages 4–5:
      Potterip nulia Dursleyp nulia qatannigutigaa ukiorpassuarni takusimanngisaa. Dursleyp nulia qatannguteqanngitsutut pissusilersortarpoq, qatanngutaami taanna uialu atorsinnaanngitsoq ilaqutariit Dursleykkunnut nallersuussinnaanngillat.
      Mrs Potter was Mrs Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years; in fact, Mrs Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be.
