Tenevil
ru:File:Luoravetl.jpg Tenevil (Russian: Теневиль) (ca. 1890–1943?) was a Chukchi reindeer herder, living in the tundra near the settlement of Ust-Belaya in Russian province of Chukotka. Around 1927 or 1928 he independently invented a writing system for the Chukchi language. It has never been established with certainty whether the symbols in this writing system were ideograms/pictograms or whether the system was logogram-based. Researchers have noted the abstract character of the symbols, which may be an indirect evidence that this writing system is entirely Tenevil's invention.
Tenevil's writing system was first described by the Russian ethnographer and writer Waldemar Bogoras in 1930. The writing system was never widely known: it was used entirely within Tenevil's family encampment. Apart from Tenevil himself, the writing system was used by his son, with whom he exchanged messages during shifts away at the reindeer pastures. Tenevil wrote his symbols on boards, bones, walrus tusks, and candy wrappers.

by: DownfallI thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your touch
You're away, I'm here and my soul is withering
I thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your love
You're away, I'm here and my heart is withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your touch
You're away, I dwell here and my heart is withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I thought I could live without your love...
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
