    • 2018, Pauliina Rauhala, Synninkantajat, Gummerus, →ISBN, page 108:
      [] , kolmitavuinen a-loppuinen nainen, niin kuin oikean veneen ja säännön kuuluu olla, ja minä rakastan yli kaiken kunnon veneitä, naisia ja sääntöjä, hyviä ja turvallisia, sillä ne suojelevat poikia ja miehia Joella ja Merellä. Ja sitten kun minulla on oma vene, annan sille nimeksi Aliisa, suuren koukeroisen alku-A:n ja pienen loppu-a:n kiemurat yhdistyvät ja muodostavat poutapilven nimen yläpuolelle.
      [] , a female name with three syllables and ending in a, like a proper boat or rule, and I love above all else proper boats, women, and rules, good and secure, as they protect their boys and men on tehe river and the sea. And when I'll have my own boat, I'll name her Aliisa, with a large cursive A as the first letter and a small a, and their squiggles will join together in the shape of a cloud above the name.
