    • c. 1808, Juan Bautista Aguirre, Eracusaldiac [Lessons]‎[1], Tolosa, published 1850, page 560:
      Aidetasun au iristen da laugarren mallaraño, eta emendic eciñ ezcondu ditezque elcarrequin senideac, lengusu, bestengusu, eta erengusuac.
      [Aidetasun au iristen da laugarren mallaraño, eta emendik eziñ ezkondu ditezke elkarrekin senideak, lengusu, bestengusu eta erengusuak.]
      This kinship reaches the fourth level, and thus siblings, cousins, second cousins and third cousins cannot marry each other.
