    • 1927, Emerencià Roig i Raventós, La pesca a Catalunya:
      La fitora té l'inconvenient que fa malbé el peix, omplint-lo de forats i descarnant-lo, la qual cosa li dóna un aspecte desagradable i fa que hagi d'ésser venut a baix preu.
      The fish spear has the disadvantage that it damages the fish, filling it with holes and stripping flesh from it, which gives it a disagreeable appearance and forces it to be sold cheaply.

    • 1931, Prudenci Bertrans, L'hereu:

      Joanet, on a rough bench that swayed on a floor of pure clay, the holes in which were deepened daily by Dolors' heather broom in such a way that she ended up exposing the foundations of the walls.
