1. some

   • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume II, verse 1710:

     لیک هم بعضی از این هر دو اثر
     شرح باید کرد یعنی نفع و ضر

     lēk ham ba'zē az īn har dū asar
     šarh bāyad kard ya'nē naf' u zarr

     But still, some of these two [diverse] effects must be explained—that is, the benefit and injury [which they involve]—
