    • 2014, Heidi Jaatinen, Kaksi viatonta päivää, Gummerus, →ISBN, page 421:
      Vanhemman naisen nimeksi alkoi Sistinjan mielessä hahmottua Lea tai ehkä Leea. Sistinja oli aina pitänyt sanoista jotka ääntyivät lempeästi, ikään kuin huomiota herättämättä. Lea, Leea, naisen huuletkin olivat pyöreäpäisellä siveltimellä rajatut.
      Sistinja started to think the older woman was called Lea or Leea. Sistinja had always liked words with gentle sounds, as if to not attract attention. Lea, Leea, her lips too were contoured with a round-tipped brush.
