- 2021, Niillas Holmberg, Halla Helle, Gummerus, →ISBN, page 170:
- Hämmentävin kutsumanimi on kuitenkin ehdottomasti kylän kauppiaalla, Kaima-Niilolla, joka istuu Jounin toisella puolella. Olla nyt kaikkien kaima! Onkohan siitä kauppiaalle hyötyä? Täällä päin on Niiloja, Nilloja, Nilssejä, Niillaksia, Nipuja ja kaiken maailman Nippejä aivan joka lähtöön.
- However, the most confusing name belongs to the shop owner in the town. Niilo, the namesake who sits on the other side of Jouni. To share the same name as everyone else! Does that help a shop owner? Here we have Niilos, Nillos, Nilses, Niillases, Nipus and all kind of Nippes for every purpose.
