Other comments: Goo or Goh or Gụ̏ụ̏ is a recently discovered Mande language of Ivory Coast. It is close to Dan and Tura, but intelligible with neither. The approximate population is 8 thousands. Goo has a quinary-decimal numeral system similar to that of the Dan language.
Notes:
- wɛɛ is originated from a noun ‛bone’
- gbílí is originated from a noun ‘basket’, as, formerly, this kind of basket was used to
transport cola, and it contained one thousand colas.
