Here is example input:
\setuppapersize[A7,landscape] \starttext \startmarginrule The sound of a duck is a good demonstration of how different people listen to a sound. Everywhere in Europe the sound is equal. But in every country it is described differently: kwaak||kwaak (Netherlands), couin||couin (French), gick||gack (German), rap||rap (Danish) and mech||mech (Spanish).

And what about a cow, does it say boe, mboe or mmmmmm? \stopmarginrule \stoptext
