Counting Coo

No deed of war was more honored than the act of "counting coo", to touch an armed enemy at the height of power with a special stick called a coo-stick, or with the hand. The touch is not a blow, and serves to show how close to an enemy you came. As an act of bravery, it was regarded as greater than killing an enemy combat, and greater than taking a scalp. It is an act of abstract courage, of pure playfulness taken to the most daring extreme.
