You could make is a little less ambiguous by introducing intervocalic
voicing or fricitivisation, any maybe use a long vowel in CV syllables,
and a short one in CVC:


     Voicing           Fricitivisation
     ================  ===========================
1   kó     [ko:]      kó     [ko:]
10  kógó   [ko:go:]   kókó   [ko:Co:] or [ko:xo:]
11  kok kó [kok ko:]  kok kó [kok ko:]
