Description:		This video is the continuation of the metalling work of Ngecme. The scene shows Ngecme and his son in action. Ngecme helps use to understand that for him to be able to give a desire shape to a metal, there are several steps to be followed. In this video, Ngecme tries to work on many instruments such as hoe, axe, sickle...
		Cuvok is a Central Chadic language spoken in the Far North Region of Cameroon. Tchouvok traditional society pivots around blacksmiths, who play a number of other key social roles: doctor, metalworker, mortician, mind-reader, and midwife. With the introduction of Islam, Christianity and modernism, the knowledge possessed by the blacksmith is no longer transmitted to the younger generation. This documentation project is integrated into my PhD research, which aims at a usage-based grammatical description of Cuvok. Much of my corpus will be composed of video recordings. Ethnographic notes will complement my annotated texts.
