   • 13th century, Şeyyad Hamza, Yūsuf u Züleyhā; reprinted in Гузеев, В.Г., editor, Староосманский язык, 1979:

     امدى دكلك سوزومه طوتك قلاق
     بر سوز ايدم كيم شكردن طاتلوراق
     واردى كنعانده بر سرور كشى
     آدى يعقوب كندو پيغامبركشى

     Imdi diŋläŋ sözümä dutuŋ qulaq
     Bir söz äyidäm kim šäkkärdän datluraq

     His name [was] Jacob, himself [he was] a prophet man.
