1. elder (tree)
   • 1897, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], “I”, in Мужики; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Peasants, 1918:

     И́збы шли в оди́н ряд, и вся дереву́шка, ти́хая и заду́мчивая, с гляде́вшими из дворо́в и́вами, бузино́й и ряби́ной, име́ла прия́тный вид.

     Ízby šli v odín rjad, i vsja derevúška, tíxaja i zadúmčivaja, s gljadévšimi iz dvoróv ívami, buzinój i rjabínoj, iméla prijátnyj vid.

     The huts were in a single row, and the whole of the little village—quiet and dreamy, with willows, elders, and mountain-ash trees peeping out from the yards—had an attractive look.
