Bound states generated by the K coupled -symmetric square wells are studied in a series of models where the Hamiltonians are assumed -pseudo-Hermitian and -symmetric. Specific rotation-like generalized parities are considered such that at some integers N. We show how our assumptions make the models exactly solvable and quasi-Hermitian. This means that they possess the real spectra as well as the standard probabilistic interpretation.
