We have made near infrared spectroscopic observations of 10 symbiotic and 27 K-M comparison stars. For stars later than M3, we found the band depth of the triple-headed TiO absorption band to be sensitive to temperature and insensitive to gravity. We fitted the spectral type to the band depth with a standard error of 0.22 of a subtype and derived the spectral types for 6 symbiotic stars. We measured the EW of a large number of lines including the CaII lines (very sensitive to luminosity), the FeI and TiO lines (moderately sensitive) and the NaI lines (not sensitive). The EW of these lines vary with the spectral type, particularly for stars later than M3, both spectral type and luminosity effects must be considered. We give the luminosity classes for 10 of the brighter symbiotic stars, they are all giant stars, showing no features of bright giants or supergiants.
