      За обедом Хаджи-Мурат ничего не ел, кроме плова, которого он взял себе на тарелку из того самого места, из которого взяла себе Марья Васильевна.
      Za obedom Xadži-Murat ničevo ne jel, krome plova, kotorovo on vzjal sebe na tarelku iz tovo samovo mesta, iz kotorovo vzjala sebe Marʹja Vasilʹjevna.
      At dinner he hardly ate anything except some pilau, to which he helped himself from the very part of the dish from which Marya Vasilevna had helped herself.
