- 15th century, Alexandreida, zlomek budějovickomuzejní:
  Ten pro zběstvo, pro chudobu
  sěm hi tamo točě sobú
  jakžto trest, jam vieter pochýlí,
  tam taký člověk sě schýlí.
  (please add an English translation of this quotation)

Usage notes

It is found together with tamo in comparative sentences, similarly as jako... tako.... The word jamo as well as jedy and other adverbs on "j-" which aren't even attested were already rare in Old Czech and replaced by "k-" adverbs – which served as interrogative as well as relative adverbs. The only exceptions are kak(o), which was eventually replaced by jak(o) in modern Czech, and jelik(o), which got a different meaning as jelikož.
