- 1900, Charles W. Chesnutt, The House Behind the Cedars, Chapter I:
  아마도, 오랫동안 칠이 되지 않은 붉은 벽돌의 표면은 여기저기 조금 더 박편이 떨어져 나갔을 것이다.
  Amado, oraetdong-an chiri doeji aneun bulgeun byeokdorui pyomyeoneun yeogijeogi jogeum deo bakpyeoni tteoreojyeo nagasseul geosida.
  Perhaps the surface of the red brick, long unpainted, had scaled off a little more here and there.
