  • The Kala calendar is modeled after the Baha'i Calendar. This borrowing is based on mathematical symmetry, not religious or theological associations. The 26th of February through the 1st of March is called the nkayohua, or "flower-week". This period includes the 29th of February in leap years.
  • Based on this calendar, Cinco de Mayo would be kitamina (south day of north sayo), or yoma pa'o te sayo ha'o (Day 8 of Month 3).
Similarly, Valentine's Day would be timumina (south day of east sayo), or yoma pa'o te sayo uepa'o (Day 8 of Month 18).
Also, Christmas would be panahonu (turtle day of rain sayo), or yoma uema'o te sayo ueya'o (Day 14 of Month 15).

Sayomaha

The “long count” calendar for Kala that I call sayomaha (big calendar). Each year is given a totem just as days on the sayoma. chose to begin my “long count” at 3500 BCE, as that is generally accepted as the “proto-literate period” of Mesopotamia, followed closely by the independent development of writing in Mesoamerica some four centuries later.

March 15th, 2023 is presented as:
tsa'atli
epoch 		uepya
age 		sanyo
era 		anyo
year 		sayo
month 		yoma
day

  • 19 yoma (days) = sayo (month)
  • 19 sayo (months) = anyo (year)
  • 19 anyo (years) = sanyo (generation, era)
  • 19 sanyo (eras) = uepya (age, 361 years)
  • 19 uepya (ages) = tsa'atli (epoch, 6859 years)

Based on this, each year is marked by three totems, Troy was founded in approximately (3000 BCE) kaya te mina te tlatsa, or “earth year of south era of fire age”. Other examples are listed below:

  • The Hồng Bàng dynasty was founded in honu te honu te tlatsa, or “turtle year of turtle era of fire age” (2897 BCE)
  • Ramesses II begins his reign of Egypt in timu te kita te kaya, or “east year of north era of earth age” (1279 BCE)
  • The Continental Congress ratifies the declaration by the United States of its independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain in honu te honu te pana, or “turtle year of turtle era of rain age” (1776 CE)

Sayoma

  • In the chart below, each column represents a sayo, or 'month' and the rows are the yoma, or days.
