The only 'true' koti glyph in Tahua is located among glyphs which resemble those of Wednesday - Saturday in C:

Ca3-5 Ca3-6 Ca3-7 Ca3-8 (59)
Ca3-9 Ca3-10 Ca3-11 Ca3-12 (63) Ca3-13
Ab4-29 Ab4-30 Ab4-31 Ab4-32
Ab4-33 Ab4-34 Ab4-35 Ab4-36 Ab4-37 Ab4-38
Ab4-39 Ab4-40 Ab4-41 Ab4-42

Koti at Ca3-12 (with 3 * 12 = 36) is - we have seen - close to the end of the year (with Rogo at Ca3-25, only 5 days later). Jupiter (the 'evening sun') rules to the end of 360 days, then koti illustrates the 'release of a new one':

Ca3-9 Ca3-10 Ca3-11 Ca3-12 Ca3-13
30 * 9 = 270 30 * 10 = 300 30 * 11 = 330 30 * 12 = 360 30 * 13 = 390

In Tahua there are superficial similarities, but the koti glyph is upside down (compared with Ca3-12), and -36 is not reversed as 63, the ordinal number of Ca3-12.

Maybe Ab4-36 indicates the reverse of 'Jupiter leaving'? If so, then the location should be half a year away, compared with winter solstice. Ua in Ab4-40 may indicate the onset of the rainy (cloudy, dark) season. We must investigate and a discussion follows here.
