   • 1911, А. Новіч, У дому лепей, Пецярбург: Загляне сонцэ и ў нашэ ваконцэ, page 12:

     Да берагу яще далёка, але ўжо відаць горы, не высокіе, не такіе, як на Каўказе, якіесь рудые, як бы с цэґлы.

     Da bjerahu jaщje daljóka, alje ŭžo vidacʹ hóry, nje vysókije, nje takije, jak na Kaŭkazje, jakijesʹ rudyje, jak by s cegly.

     It's still too far from the shore, but the mountains are already visible, they aren't high, not the same as in the Caucasus, somewhat brownish, as if made of brick.

• Like the Ukrainian word, this usually denotes the building material, while the countable noun цаглі́на (cahlína) is used for individual pieces of bricks.

• цаглі́на (cahlína), цэ́гліна (céhlina)
• цагля́ны (cahljány)
