ref: 1908, Edwin Hale Abbot, Is the Renvoi a Part of the Common Law?, page 8:
text: The application of renvoi in matters of personal status, family relationships and succession involves mainly conflicts between the national law and the law of the domicile, but it may also comprise a renvoi from the personal law to the lex rei sitae, notably in matters of matrimonial property and succession. This may result in a partial renvoi, e.e. when immovables forming part of a succession are situated outside the country, the law of which governs the succession as the personal law.
ref: 1991, K. Zweigert, K. Drobnig, International Encyclopedia of Comparative Law, →ISBN, page 22:
text: However, it could be alternatively argued that there is a general principle at common law that renvoi does not apply in relation to what are termed “obligations” for the purposes of private international law.

ref: 1991, Myrdene Anderson, Floyd Merrell, On Semiotic Modeling, →ISBN, page 331:
text: The description would be inexact because it gives figure to an essential play of return (renvoi).
ref: 2003, Jeffrey Bloechl, Religious Experience and the End of Metaphysics, →ISBN, page 87:
text: "But since you have brought up Jakobson's formula", I continued, "let me remind you that he intended the formula to express the relation distinctive or constitutive of sign, a relation Jakobson felicitously characterized as renvoi."
ref: 2003, John N. Deely, The Impact on Philosophy of Semiotics: The Quasi-error of the External World with a Dialogue Between a 'semiotist' and a 'realist':
