Spelling Variants
- Sûtukoya
Origin of Constellation
The constellation Sûtukoya ‘Spirit of the red-handed tamarin’ (Saguinus midas) was mentioned by Cornelius van Coll and the Penard brothers but it remains poorly identified.[1][2] According to Claudius de Goeje, it should correspond to the Western constellation Coma Berenices.[3] It is not clear whether this is correct, however, given that today we find the constellation Awarhakoya in this part of the sky, which is easily recognized by numerous speakers. There are no myths related to this constellation.[4]
