    • 1941 [1865], Mayne Reid, translated by Уладзімір Ляўданскі, Коннік без галавы, Мінск: ДВБ, translation of The Headless Horseman, page 39:
      Што-ж датычыць арыстакратызма, то сам гаспадар надзелены ім у такой колькасці, што адна толькі яго прысутнасць будзе дзейнічаць накшталт прышчэпкі, якой хопіць на ўсіх гасцей.
      Što-ž datyčycʹ arystakratyzma, to sam haspadar nadzjeljeny im u takój kólʹkasci, što adna tólʹki jahó prysutnascʹ budzje dzjejničacʹ nakštalt pryščepki, jakój xópicʹ na ŭsix hascjej.
      [original: On the question of aristocracy, the host himself, if you’ll pardon a poor joke, is himself a host. He has enough of it to inoculate all the company that may be present;]
      (literally, “On the question of aristocratism, the host himself possesses so much of it, that his mere presence will function like a vaccine, that will be plentiful for all the guests.”)
  2. graft (a small shoot or scion of a tree inserted in another tree)

      Biez pryščepki ni jabłynia ni hruša nie daduć smačnych fruktoŭ. Pryščapić znače pryžywić da dzički halinku (čaranok) ad dobraho drewa.
