Other comments: Kou is spoken by approximately 3,000 speakers in villages between the Mindjim and Napu Rivers, and along the Madang Highway, Madang province, Papua New Guinea. Kou– similar to Sinsauru (Madang, Rai Coast, Evapia) in Madang Province, PNG (SIL is working to give them an entry in ethnologue.com). Kou has a digit-tally system up to twenty. Note that the word wapmog is their word for “2 fingers” so when they repeat it: wapmog wapmog, it means “four”.
