Geometry over non--existent "field with one element" F1 conceived by Jacques Tits [Ti] half a century ago recently found an incarnation, in at least two related but different guises. In this paper I analyze the crucial role of roots of unity in this geometry and propose a version of the notion of "analytic functions" over F1. The paper combines a focused survey with some new constructions. In new version, several local additions and changes are made, references added.
