Yoni
The four-point koota comparing the two birth stars' animal symbols for physical and emotional intimacy.
Each of the 27 nakshatras is assigned an animal — horse, elephant, sheep, serpent, dog, cat, rat, cow, buffalo, tiger, deer, monkey, mongoose and lion in the classical lists. Yoni scores the pair: the same animal scores four, friendly animals score two or three, neutral pairs one, and traditional enemies zero.
It is the koota families are shyest about discussing and one of the ones they care about most. TrueSaath's pages print the Yoni score, not the animals, because published tables disagree on several stars.
