Usage Notes or Etymology
The term is derived from the combination of the words tali (string) and goci. In Javanese kite-making traditions, goci refers to weight-balancing techniques. Technically, this installation involves precise geometric calculations between the upper and lower points of the frame. An error in determining this knot point will result in an unstable or uncontrollable kite.
