Note that

ko go viska gi cusku

is also valid, and in this case the ko _will_ be viska1 and cusku1 if
that's what you wanted. In your example, ko is only viska1 and cusku is
an observative with an implied X1.

FWIW, 
ko gu'o viska gi cusku

is also valid and probably means about the same as my go/gi version.
