 Wolf von Witting's Family Chronicles
In spite of him bragging about to have studied at five different academies, it was fairly obvious that he was a highly ignorant and reckless man, of which all his colleagues were ashamed and who was a constant nuisance to his environment.
Although he accused his accusers of prejudice and persecution, it appears more likely to have been he, who tormented his congregation, using swearwords in church, preaching while drunk, calling his congregation thieves and even fighting with them.
He studied at the academy in Dorpat in 1651, and still in 1654, so it is far more likely that he was born approximately 25-30 years later.

 Endangered languages in Northeast Asia: report
Remarks: an aberrant and in some respects archaic member of the Tuvan branch of northern Turkic; ethnohistorically, the modern Tofa-speaking community seems to have been formed upon a substrate population that until the 18th century spoke Mator
Remarks: Chuvan was the northeasternmost of the many Yukagiric tribal idioms that until the 18th to 19th centuries were spoken widely over northeastern Siberia, from the lower Lena to the lower Anadyr'; linguistically, Chuvan seems to have been relatively close to modern Tundra Yukagir, but distinct from the latter
Remarks: the relationship of Eastern Kamchadal to Itelmen (Western Kamchadal) and Southern Kamchadal (qq.v.) has variously been described as one of three dialects, three related languages, or even three totally unrelated languages; for the time being the assumption of a reasonably close genetic relationship may be taken as a suitable working hypothesis

The first stage of the North European publication was planned by Kuusi to contain common proverbs of Baltic-Finnic peoples.
Since the Estonian paremic archive material is the second largest of the Baltic-Finnic peoples (next only to the Finnish one), in autumn 1962 Kuusi suggested co-operation with the relevant Estonian institutions, and after a year an official contract was signed between the Finnish Literature Society and the Academy of Sciences of the Estonian SSR.
It was the task of the Estonians to prepare a scientific edition of Estonian proverbs as well as to publish Vote, Livonian and Vepsian proverbs.
