This article should probably be mvoed to something like Yukhagir picture writing. The supposed "love letter" is actually "remnant of Yukaghir party game, akin to charades, in which girls carved pictures on birchbark about their love lives, challenging onlookers to guess their riddle-like meanings".^[1] utcursch | talk 09:23, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
