    • 1931, Vladislav Vančura, Markéta Lazarová:
      Ve vojště, jež přitrhlo s hejtmanem Pivem na lesní cestu, byl mladičký rytíř jménem Sovička. Odkud se vzal? To věru nevím.
      (please add an English translation of this quotation)

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The archaic locative case vojště is irregular as the expected consonant change in modern Czech would be vojsce. Many native speakers don't even know about this archaic form. It is only found in some old literature.
