Tamme and !nanni both give the song of the ||ku, which they both heard from older people. !nanni heard it from a man called |kuirri, of his grandfather's people, and Tamme heard it from his uncle ≠namm-she. The ||ku is a small wild animal that resembles a jackal and eats ants and is found in the !kun country. Neither song has been translated.
