While working in an Italian language school in Urbania, Mansi and two of his co-workers were frustrated with the leaders of the Urbania school.

Khanty literal language fixation was characterised by permanent hesitations: this is well illustrated by a small reform of Latin alphabet that took place in 1936 and was inspired by Steinitz: new letters were introduced and others eliminated (Steinitz 1950: 25).
