Description:		Here the spiritual chief is explaining the role of each stone in telling about the future. The very important thing is to represent every person with a stone. It is also possible to know about one's cattle or belongings. To do so, we should represent everything with a stone. The blacksmith uses mathematical language.
		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.
