    • 1936, V. I. Junus, Iƶoran Keelen Grammatikka[1], Leningrad: Riikin Ucebno-pedagogiceskoi Izdateljstva, page 55:
      Sloga ono auki, sentää ono vahva steeppeni kk (ka-lak-ka-han), ku sloga ono kiin (ka-la-kas), ni ono yks k, ono slaaboi steeppeni.
      The syllable is open, therefore it has the strong grade kk (ka-lak-ka-han), when the syllable is closed (ka-la-kas), it thus has one k, it has the weak grade.
